Last updated: July 2026 dataCreped and crinkled kraft paper derives its extensibility and cushioning properties from the creping or crinkling process applied to the kraft base sheet — a mechanical treatment that creates a micro-folded structure used in protective packaging, void fill, and industrial wrapping applications. The heading classifies entirely under 4808400000, with the kraft fiber base and the creping/crinkling treatment both being essential classification criteria. France leads US import supply, followed by Canada and the United Kingdom.

Creped and crinkled kraft paper (480840) is distinguished by the creping or crinkling process applied to a kraft base, which creates extensibility through micro-folding. Embossed paper has a raised surface pattern applied by pressure but lacks the extensibility of creped paper, and perforated paper has through-holes. These distinctions matter because embossed and perforated non-kraft papers classify under heading 480890, while creped kraft specifically belongs in 480840.
Creped kraft paper is primarily used in protective packaging — including void fill, interleaving, and wrapping for fragile goods — as well as in industrial masking tape manufacturing and specialty converting applications. The extensibility imparted by creping makes it preferable to flat kraft paper where conformability or cushioning is required, and demand tracks closely with e-commerce fulfillment and industrial packaging activity.
