Brown 6 pack carriers

[jvandenbrink]

Has anyone ever found any? I want just plain cardboard looking ones that I can stamp with custom stamps. The only ones I can find are white.

Any connections/ideas would be helpful

thanks

Joel,

We use a Kraft board for our six pack, which has the natural look that I think your aiming for. It is not very common, and brings some print quality concerns, as well as moisture absorption issues and they are a little stiff on the erector. Overall, though I wouldn't trade them in for white. They look great if done right, but the printers and the packaging crew have to be on their game. We have used a Riverwood board as well as a Mead Westvaco board. They both have their pluses and minuses. For a printer, we currently use Keystone Paper and Box. If you need contact info, I can give it to you. They do a good job for us, and they really stand out on the shelf. Good luck.

We had some made up years ago by Caraustar. From what I remember, Caraustar used the same white stock but loaded into the die-cutter kraft side out. They weren't any cheaper but we didn't have to order some huge quantity either.
