Recycled Brown Kraft Menus FAQs

What is a kraft paper menu?

A kraft paper menu is printed on natural brown kraft stock. Ours is a thick 18 pt. kraft with visible natural fibers, a smooth finish for excellent print quality, and a warm, rustic look that's popular with cafés, bakeries, breweries and farm-to-table restaurants.

Is the kraft paper recycled?

Yes. Our brown kraft is 100% recycled with a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste content, and it can be recycled again after use.

How thick is the kraft stock?

18 pt., which is extra thick. It feels substantial in the hand and holds up well to everyday handling.

Will every menu look exactly the same?

Kraft is a natural, recycled, colored stock, so expect slight color variation, and the natural flecks vary from sheet to sheet and press run to press run. That's part of its handcrafted charm.

Can I write on kraft menus?

Yes, with any ink. Ballpoint, gel, marker, pencil and rubber stamps all work on the uncoated surface, so you can add daily specials, prices or a note by hand.

Kraft menus or natural menus: what's the difference?

Both are eco-friendly. Kraft menus are a thick 18 pt., 100% recycled brown stock with visible natural fibers, a rustic look and an optional white ink mask. Eco-friendly natural menus are a smooth 14 pt., light cream off-white with at least 30% post-consumer waste, an elegant look, and flat or scored options (scoring on select sizes) from just 25.

Are kraft menus waterproof?

No. Kraft is thick but uncoated, so it's best for counters, tables and take-away use. For wet or high-traffic areas, choose waterproof synthetic menus or 5 mil laminated menus, which are built to last for years.

What is white mask printing on kraft?

A white mask is a layer of white ink printed under your colors. Because kraft is brown, regular inks print darker and softer. The white base makes colors bright and true, and lets you print crisp white text and logos.

Do I need a white mask?

Not always. Dark colors like black, navy, forest green and deep brown look great directly on kraft. Use a white mask for light colors, photos and white text. You can add it to the front, the back or both sides.

How do I set up a white mask file?

Supply the white mask as a separate vector file at the exact size of your design, so the white lines up perfectly under your colors.

What sizes are available?

7 sizes: 4" x 10", 5.5" x 17", 6" x 18", 8" x 10", 8.5" x 11", 9" x 12" and 11" x 17". All kraft menus are printed flat.

How many kraft menus can I order, and how fast?

Order 100, 250, 500 or 1,000, with up to 15 versions per order. Choose 2–4 or 5–7 business day turnaround.

Do you have templates?

Yes. Free layout guideline templates are available for every kraft menu size. Lay out your design on the template for accurate alignment and safe areas, then export a print-ready file.

Will I see a proof?

Always. Every order includes a free proof. We check fit, white mask alignment, grammar and typos before anything prints.

Can I see the kraft paper before ordering?

Yes. Order our sample kit to feel the kraft stock and our other papers.

  • Coffee shops, cafés and bakeries

Kraft Paper Menus With Warm, Rustic Character

Some menus just feel right in your hands. A brown kraft menu is one of them. The warm, natural color and visible fibers instantly say handcrafted, local and real, which is perfect for cafés, bakeries, breweries, BBQ joints and farm-to-table kitchens. Thanks to the smooth finish, your design prints crisp and clear, and the kraft adds a cozy, rustic glow to every photo and logo.

About the Paper: 18 pt. Recycled Brown Kraft

  • 100% recycled, with a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste, and recyclable again after use.
  • Extra-thick 18 pt. stock that feels substantial and holds up well to handling.
  • An organic look with natural fibers. Visible flecks give every menu a handcrafted feel.
  • Smooth finish, excellent print quality. The warm stock adds rustic appeal to images.
  • Writable with any ink: ballpoint, gel, marker, pencil or a rubber stamp, so you can jot down daily specials, prices or a personal note.

Good to know: recycled, colored stock can vary slightly in color, and the natural flecks vary from sheet to sheet and press run to press run. That’s part of kraft’s one-of-a-kind charm. Want to see it in person first? Order our sample kit.

Make Colors Pop With a White Ink Mask

Color wheel on brown kraft paper comparing printing without a white mask and with a white mask
The same colors on kraft, without and with a white mask. For illustration purposes only. Actual prints may differ. See the complete White Mask guide.

Because kraft is brown, regular CMYK inks print a little darker and softer than on white paper. That’s often a beautiful, vintage effect. When you want bright, true colors or a crisp white logo, add a white ink mask: a layer of white printed under your colors, so they stand out sharp and vibrant.

Printing optionBest for
Color on front only (4/0)A natural, vintage look on one side
Color on front & back (4/4)Two-sided menus with the natural kraft look

Color on front & back with front white maskA bold cover with a natural back
Color on front & back with back white maskA natural cover with bright details on the back
Color & white mask on both sidesMaximum color impact on both sides

Tip: dark inks (black, deep brown, forest green, navy) look great on kraft even without white. Use the white mask for light colors, photos and white text.
