Brown Kraft Hang Tag Uses

FAQs

• What material is brown kraft made of and is it recycled?
  • Brown kraft paper is light brown with natural fibers and subtle, visible flecks lending it a natural, organic look and feel. The uncoated, smooth finish provides excellent print quality, while the colored stock adds warmth and a rustic appeal to images. Optional white ink can be applied in specific areas or all over giving you the flexibility to add contrast and brighten images. Brown kraft is 100% recycled with a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste content.
    • Please be aware that recycled and colored stocks may have slight color variations due to the materials used to manufacture the paper. The flecks in the paper will also vary from sheet to sheet and press run to press run.
• How do I set up artwork for brown kraft cards with white ink?
  • Brown kraft has the option to add white ink as an overprint. The white will be a base for the CMYK providing a bright, white surface that will allow for vibrant, crisp color. Areas without white ink will appear darker due to the color of the stock.
    • Similar to spot UV masks, white mask files are separate from your artwork files. Black in the white mask file indicates where white ink will be printed.
    • Make sure to create your mask file the same size as your artwork file. This will prevent alignment issues during printing.
    • Note: white masks must be made in vector format and be saved as EPS or PDF. Please be aware that anything less than 100%K will be transparent and allow the brown stock to show through.
    • Use vector paths/shapes to create black color areas that will indicate where the white ink base will go. The rest of the areas will show the brown kraft stock.
    • Remember the following when creating a white mask for your white ink base:
      • White ink base will be printed behind any color that’s in your artwork layer.
      • Areas with color but without a white mask will be printed with color directly on the material.
      • Areas with color and a white mask will be printed as an opaque or solid color.
      • Areas with a white mask and no color will be printed as white.
• How do I set up my file for hang tags?
  • Bleed must extend past the cut line and will be trimmed from the product during the final cutting phase. When the image is required to extend all the way to the edge, bleed is needed to preserve the finished look and the quality of the final product.

  • • Please keep all text at least 0.125" inside the cut line.
    • The bleed for standard products is 0.125”.
