At Packaging Specialties, we’ve always believed great packaging shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Arbor Kraft — our groundbreaking, tree-free paper made from fallen leaves and urban green waste. This isn’t just another recycled paper. It’s a complete re-think of what eco-friendly packaging can be.
Paper Made Without Trees
Every year, billions of pounds of fallen leaves and yard trimmings are sent to landfills — material that could otherwise be given new life. Arbor Kraft collects and repurposes these leaves, turning what was once waste into a strong, beautiful kraft paper that looks and performs just like traditional paper.
No trees are cut down. No deforestation. Just smart reuse of what nature already provides.
Lower Impact, Higher Purpose
Compared to conventional paper production, Arbor Kraft uses 78% less carbon and 15 times less water. It’s a cleaner, smarter process that helps reduce landfill waste while cutting emissions at every stage. The result: a rich, natural kraft paper that aligns perfectly with today’s sustainability goals — without sacrificing quality, printability, or strength.
Packaging That Feels Good — and Does Good
Our Arbor Kraft Bags are made from this innovative leaf-based paper and built with the same durability and reliability you expect from Packaging Specialties. The earthy tone and subtle texture give every bag a natural, authentic look — perfect for retailers who want to showcase eco-values without losing style. Add your logo with soy-based inks, and you’ve got packaging that tells a powerful story before a customer even walks out the door.
Sustainable Innovation You Can See
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us — it’s a commitment woven into everything we make. By investing in materials like Arbor Kraft, we’re proving that eco-innovation can be beautiful, functional, and attainable for every business, from boutiques to museum shops to gourmet markets.
