Sometimes less really is more when it comes to packaging. Plain bags or boxes embellished with a combination of black, white and kraft make for a clean, modern style. It’s a bit like a black and white photo: classic, timeless, even a little sophisticated. It also happens to be a very budget-friendly and earth-friendly option, using inexpensive materials like recycled kraft paper and twine.<\/p>\n

For this blog, I printed some simple labels on a laser printer, using sheets of plain address labels from an office supply store, including a logo in plain black and white (try this effect on your own logo!).<\/p>\n

Since I wasn’t relying on color or pattern to give this packaging extra oomph, the textures of the materials really had a chance to shine. From the glossy black of our shipping boxes<\/a> (top, left) combined with a matte label and cotton bakers twine<\/a>, to the recycled kraft bag<\/a> with a crisp white label and a rustic twine<\/a> bow, this no-frills approach would be right at home in both a country store and an upscale boutique.<\/p>\n

Many of our customers use our rolls of white and natural kraft paper<\/a> for packing material – but it makes wonderful gift wrap, too. Available in different widths and in quantities like 840 or 1100 feet, one roll of this versatile stuff might last you quite a while!<\/p>\n

I especially love the “minimal” look created by a plain white bow on white gift wrap, a black raffia bow on a black box, or even some natural twine tied around brown kraft wrap.<\/p>\n
