Kali Packaging manufactures in-house from our facility in Bawana Industrial Area, North-West Delhi. That means you're not buying from a middleman who bought from a mill who bought from a raw material supplier three steps removed. You're buying directly from the people who make the box. Here's what that actually gives you:
Consistent raw material quality: We source kraft paper from established mills and maintain quality checks on incoming material. The board we cut and fold is the same grade you approved — not a cheaper substitute slipped in on a bulk order.
Accurate dimensions: Boxes that are even a few millimetres off because real problems — products shift in transit, pallets don't stack correctly, and automated packing lines jam. Our cutting is precise.
Proper adhesive bonding: The glue holding the flutes to the liners matters more than most buyers realize. Under-bonded corrugated loses structural strength significantly. Our bonding process is consistent across production runs.
Factory-direct pricing: No distributor margin. No trader markup. You pay what a manufacturer charges, which is meaningfully less than buying the same box through a middleman.
High Load-Bearing Capacity
Khaki boxes from Kali Packaging are engineered to carry weight — not just hold it. The corrugated flute structure distributes vertical compression load across the box walls, meaning a properly specified box can be stacked several units high without the bottom box collapsing.
Moisture Resistance
Kraft paper is naturally more moisture-resistant than bleached board because the original lignin and fibre bonds are intact. For environments where some humidity exposure is unavoidable — warehouses during monsoon, cold chain logistics, open-air storage — our khaki boxes offer meaningfully better moisture resistance than standard white corrugated boxes at a comparable price point.
Easy to Brand and Label
The natural brown surface of a khaki box is a clean, neutral canvas. Labels adhere well. Thermal and inkjet stickers sit flat without peeling. For businesses that print shipping labels, barcodes, or handling instructions directly on the box, the surface accepts standard printing without any pre-treatment.
Reusable and Fully Recyclable
A khaki box that has served its packaging purpose can be broken down flat and recycled completely. Kraft corrugated is among the most recycled materials in the world — the infrastructure exists at every municipal level.
Fully Customizable — Sizes, Ply, Printing, and Style
We don't carry a catalogue of 15 standard sizes and ask you to make do. Tell us your product dimensions (L x W x H), the weight it needs to carry, your monthly volume, and any branding requirement — and we manufacture to that specification. From small pharmaceutical packaging boxes to large export cartons for industrial machinery, we work across the full size range.
Smooth Professional Finish
Despite being made from unbleached natural paper, a well-manufactured khaki box has a clean, professional appearance. Our boxes come with consistent colour, flat panels, and accurate scoring — so they fold square and close cleanly. For businesses where the outer packaging is seen by customers or at the point of handover, the presentation quality matters even for a basic brown box.
Khaki boxes are among the most universal packaging products we manufacture. They cross industry lines because the core need — a strong, reliable carton for shipping and storage is universal. Our current clients include businesses across

We regularly supply khaki boxes to clients in:
The term 'khaki box' is commonly used in the Indian packaging trade to describe corrugated or solid paperboard cartons made from unbleached kraft paper — recognized by their characteristic natural brown colour. In terms of structure, a khaki box is functionally similar to what is generically called a corrugated box.
Our MOQ depends on the specification — box size, ply, and whether printing is involved. For standard sizes with no printing, we can accommodate orders starting from as few as 50–100 boxes, which suits small businesses and startups. For custom die-cut styles or printed boxes, the MOQ is typically higher (200–500 pieces) to justify tooling and setup costs. For bulk commercial orders of 1,000 pieces and above, we offer tiered pricing that becomes significantly more competitive. Share your requirement and we'll give you honest pricing at different quantity levels.
Yes — and custom sizing is actually one of the most common requests we receive. Standard box sizes exist for convenience, not because your product is standard. If your product doesn't fit well in any off-the-shelf size, using the wrong box creates real problems: products shift in transit, the box uses more material than needed (costing more), and presentation suffers.
Yes, Kraft paperboard is one of the most widely used materials for food packaging globally — particularly for dry foods, fresh produce, and processed food export. Unbleached kraft paper is free from the optical brighteners and chlorine compounds sometimes used in bleached board, making it a cleaner choice for food contact applications. For packaging that will be in direct contact with food, we recommend food-grade kraft liner (which we supply), and for secondary/tertiary packaging of food products, standard khaki boxes work well.
The choice of ply configuration depends on three things: the weight of the product, the stacking height during storage or transit, and the fragility of the contents. Single-ply (single wall) corrugated is sufficient for products up to approximately 10–15 kg that are handled carefully and not stacked more than 3–4 units high. Double-ply (double wall) is recommended for heavier goods (15–30 kg), products stacked under significant load, or items being transported over long distances with rough handling risk.
Yes. We offer flexographic printing on Kraft board in one or two colours. This covers company logos, product names, handling instructions (Fragile, This Side Up, and Keep Dry), barcodes, and basic graphic elements. For businesses that want their shipping boxes to carry brand identity — especially in B2C e-commerce where the delivery box is often the customer's first physical touch point with the brand — printed khaki boxes are a cost-effective upgrade over plain brown cartons. Printing setup involves a one-time plate cost, after which the per-unit cost of printing is minimal at moderate volumes.
Standard khaki boxes are not waterproof, but unbleached Kraft paper has naturally better moisture resistance than bleached corrugated board. For most indoor storage and covered transit, standard khaki boxes perform well even during humid seasons. For applications involving cold chain logistics, outdoor storage, wet market distribution, or export via sea freight (where humidity in shipping containers can be significant), we offer moisture-resistant coating on the outer liner — a wax or polymer treatment that meaningfully extends the box's performance in wet conditions.
For standard specifications with available board stock, dispatch happens within 3–5 working days for Delhi NCR clients. For custom-sized boxes, printed boxes, or large bulk orders, production lead time is typically 7–12 working days from order confirmation. For pan-India delivery via logistics, add 2–4 days transit time depending on destination. We will always confirm the realistic timeline when you place your enquiry.
Yes — e-commerce is one of the largest segments we serve. We manufacture khaki boxes in all common courier and parcel sizes used by platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and independent D2C brands. Common sizes we produce include 6x4x4 inches (small accessories), 10x8x6 inches (mid-size apparel or electronics), 12x10x8 inches (shoes, appliances), and larger formats for multi-item orders. We also manufacture standard mailer boxes (auto-lock bottom, easy-open tear strip) that reduce packing time at fulfilment centres.
The most significant difference is that we manufacture — we don't resell. Most 'box suppliers' in Delhi are traders who source from mills and mark up the price. When you buy from them, you get no visibility into raw material quality, no ability to customise, and no consistency guarantee when they switch suppliers. When you buy from Kali Packaging, you're dealing directly with the manufacturer: consistent quality because we control every stage of production, factory pricing.
