In bookbinding and publishing, kraft paper is often used as a protective dust jacket or book cover wrap, offering durability and a natural look for journals, notebooks, or limited edition books. It's also widely used in shoebox linings, where its rigidity helps maintain structure and protect footwear during retail display and shipping. Another unique application is in reusable storage bags, where kraft paper is treated with wax or silicone to create foldable bags for dry food or personal items. These bags are increasingly popular in zero-waste and minimalist households for their strength and recyclability.
