Board Colour

The colour of your cardboard can affect how your packaging looks and how printed designs appear.

Brown kraft and white are the two main board colour options. Each creates a different finish and can be better suited to different types of branding and print.

Kraft Brown

Made from natural, unbleached fibres, kraft board is the most popular choice for its rustic, eco-friendly look. It’s often used in shipping, industrial, and eco-conscious packaging, providing durability and a natural appearance that appeals to brands focused on sustainability.

The most widely used option, brown kraft board is strong, durable, and eco-friendly. It offers a natural, rustic look and is ideal for brands that prioritize sustainability. Darker prints work best on kraft, while lighter colors may appear more muted.

White

White board has a clean, polished appearance, ideal for high-quality printing and branding. It’s often chosen for retail and e-commerce packaging, as the bright surface allows colours and logos to appear vibrant and sharp, giving products a professional look.

White cardboard provides a clean, high-end appearance, making it perfect for premium packaging. It enhances color vibrancy, ensuring logos and graphics appear crisp and bold. This is a great option for printed boxes where detail and contrast matter.

UK Packaging EPR

What is the EPR packaging charge?

EPR is a UK Government scheme that makes businesses contribute towards the cost of dealing with household packaging waste.

GOV.UK explains that EPR:
“shifts the end-of-life costs of household packaging waste from taxpayers and local authorities to the producers who place packaging on the UK market”
Read the official EPR guidance on GOV.UK

When Quickbox supplies empty packaging, we are normally responsible for the EPR cost, so an EPR contribution will be added to your order.

The charge may not apply if:

If either of these applies to you, complete our short EPR declaration on the sign up page and we will apply the correct EPR treatment to your account.

The charge helps Quickbox recover the costs we have to pay under the Government’s EPR scheme.
