This packaging for a vegetable knife combines strength, simplicity, and sustainability in a two-piece construction that prioritises both presentation and environmental responsibility. Crafted from KraftPak, a single-ply, uncoated, unbleached kraft paperboard, the design features a natural brown finish that resonates with eco-conscious consumers while offering durability and protection.

The black print contrasts sharply against the surface, enhancing legibility and delivering a clean, minimal visual identity. A strategically placed cut-out on the front panel offers direct visibility of the knife, allowing the product to be showcased without the use of plastic windows, reinforcing the pack’s sustainability credentials.

The packaging consists of a die-cut and partially glued outer folding box and an inlay, both manually folded and assembled. The knife is securely held in place within the inlay, ensuring stability and preventing movement during handling and transport.

KraftPak’s consistent, uniform surface supports high-quality print while its low-density, high-yield composition delivers outstanding strength with reduced material use. Lightweight yet robust, the board is ideal for protective packaging applications that demand both performance and a natural look and feel.

The result is a durable, recyclable packaging solution that combines practical product security with visual simplicity and environmental responsibility.
