About Brown Kraft Menus
Organize food, drinks or services into an easy-to-read layout with Brown Kraft Menus. The 18pt uncoated kraft stock has a light brown tone and visible paper fibers that become part of the design. Group related items, leave room for descriptions and prices, and check how the selected size and fold will be handled by the reader. Review the proof carefully before production.
Brown kraft’s smooth finish delivers excellent print quality, while the colored stock adds warmth and a rustic appeal to images. This material is 100% recycled with a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste content. Please note: recycled and colored stocks may have slight color variation 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Remember the following when creating a white mask for your white ink base:
i. White ink base will be printed behind any color that’s in your artwork layer.
ii. Areas with color but without a white mask will be printed with color directly on the material.
iii. Areas with color and a white mask will be printed as opaque or solid color.
iv. Areas with a white mask and no color will be printed as white.
