From folding boards to hang tags, and box wrap to shopping bags, Mohawk’s portfolio features a wide range of beautiful whites, colors, finishes and weights to enable brands to create consistent visuals across an entire suite of packaging and promotional materials. 

The dramatic visual and tactile appeal of Mohawk packaging papers add richness to imagery and illustrations while holding the dense color and exquisite detail that luxury brands depend on for maximum impact in a retail environment.
