Kraft Union Paper Roll (120gsm) — Protective Wrapping & Moisture-Resistant Barrier
Kraft Union paper is a specialist protective paper used in packaging and transit protection where you want the handling benefits of kraft paper with added resistance to moisture transfer. It is commonly supplied on a roll for fast dispensing and is widely used for wrapping, interleaving, and lining applications in warehouses, manufacturing, and export packing.
This product page may show multiple roll options (for example, different widths and roll lengths). The core material and performance characteristics remain consistent across the range, making it easy to select the format that best suits your packing bench, dispenser, or workflow.
Key Features
- Moisture-resistant barrier: Kraft Union paper is commonly sold as a moisture-resistant kraft paper (often described by suppliers as a laminated/union grade) to help reduce moisture transfer during storage and transit.
- Strong kraft outer: The kraft face provides good tear resistance and durability for wrapping and general protective packaging tasks.
- Roll format for speed: Supplied on a roll for efficient dispensing, consistent coverage, and reduced waste compared with sheet-by-sheet packing.
- Versatile protection: Suitable for wrapping, lining cartons, separating layers, and protecting surfaces from scuffs and light contamination.
- Common export/warehouse use: Frequently used in pallet protection and export packing where a paper-based wrap with added moisture resistance is preferred.
Typical Uses
- Wrapping products prior to boxing or palletising
- Interleaving between items to reduce scuffing and abrasion
- Lining cartons, crates, and cases for added protection
- General warehouse packing where a tougher paper wrap is needed
- Export packing and transit protection where moisture resistance is beneficial
Kraft Union Paper Roll — Full Product Guide
Kraft Union paper is chosen when standard kraft paper is not quite enough for the conditions a shipment may face. In many supply chains, goods can move through variable temperatures and humidity levels, or be stored for extended periods before delivery. A union-grade kraft paper is commonly positioned as a practical, paper-based protective wrap that adds a moisture-resistant layer while retaining the handling and strength advantages of kraft.
Because this listing can represent multiple roll formats, focus on selecting the roll width and length that best matches your packing process. Wider rolls can be ideal for pallet wrap and lining, while narrower rolls can be convenient for bench packing and wrapping individual items.
How It Works
Kraft Union paper is typically described by packaging suppliers as a kraft paper combined with a moisture-resistant layer (often referenced as a laminated or union construction). In use, the kraft side provides strength and abrasion resistance, while the moisture-resistant layer helps reduce moisture transfer through the wrap. This can be helpful for protecting goods during storage, transit, and export packing where condensation or damp conditions may be a concern.
In practical terms, you use it like a standard wrapping paper: dispense from the roll, wrap or line as required, and secure with tape or strapping. It can also be used as an interleaving layer between products or between layers on a pallet.
Materials and Construction
Suppliers commonly refer to Kraft Union paper as a moisture-resistant kraft paper, often sold in weights such as 120gsm and in standard roll sizes. The “union” designation is used in the packaging trade to indicate a combined construction rather than a single plain kraft sheet. This combined structure is intended to improve performance in damp or variable environments compared with standard kraft paper alone.
As with most protective papers, the roll format supports consistent application and helps teams standardise packing methods across shifts and sites.
Floor Type Compatibility
This product is a packaging paper roll rather than a floor covering. If you are using it in a packing area, it is compatible with typical warehouse and production environments and can be dispensed from bench-mounted or free-standing roll dispensers. For best results, ensure the roll is supported and the cutting edge is suitable for clean, safe tearing.
Health and Safety
When handling any roll product, use safe manual handling practices. Large rolls can be awkward to lift and may require two-person handling or mechanical assistance depending on the roll size. If using a dispenser with a cutting edge, follow site safety procedures and keep hands clear of blades. Keep the work area tidy to reduce trip hazards from offcuts and used cores.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Export packing: Kraft Union paper is widely positioned for export and long-distance shipping where goods may encounter changing humidity and temperature conditions.
Pallet protection: Use as a protective layer over cartons or products on a pallet, or as an interlayer between tiers to reduce abrasion and help manage moisture exposure.
Industrial wrapping: Suitable for wrapping metal parts, components, and manufactured goods where a tougher paper wrap is preferred.
Carton lining: Line cartons, crates, or cases to provide an additional protective barrier and reduce scuffing.
Interleaving: Place between items to reduce surface marking during storage and transport.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Kraft Union paper requires minimal maintenance. Store rolls in a clean, dry area to preserve performance and prevent edge damage. Keep rolls off damp floors and protect from direct water exposure. If using a dispenser, periodically check that the roll rotates freely and that the cutting edge (if present) is secure and in good condition.
To reduce waste, train packers to use consistent wrap lengths and to cut cleanly. Offcuts can often be used as void fill or as small protective sheets for corners and edges.
Case Study (Typical Workflow Example)
A warehouse team shipping mixed goods on pallets needs a paper-based protective wrap that is quick to apply and offers improved resistance to moisture compared with standard kraft. They mount a Kraft Union roll on a dispenser near the pallet wrap station. Before stretch wrapping, they apply a layer of Kraft Union paper over the top tier and around vulnerable edges. This helps reduce scuffing and provides an additional barrier against condensation during transit. The team standardises the process by selecting a roll width that covers the pallet efficiently and training staff to apply consistent overlaps.
Who is it for?
- Warehouses and fulfilment operations that need fast, consistent protective wrapping
- Manufacturers packing components and finished goods for distribution
- Export packers looking for a paper-based wrap with moisture-resistant properties
- Operations seeking an alternative to plastic-only protection in certain packing steps
Colours / Features Available
Kraft Union paper is typically supplied in a kraft/brown appearance consistent with kraft paper products. The key functional feature is the union/combined construction that suppliers describe as moisture-resistant.
Sizes Available
This listing may include multiple roll options. Suppliers commonly offer Kraft Union paper in standard widths (for example, 900mm and 1200mm) and standard roll lengths (often listed as 100m) at weights such as 120gsm. Select the roll width and length that best suits your packing station, dispenser, and the size of items you wrap.
