Brown wrapping paper is very strong and relatively coarse.

It is used for brown paper bags, wrapping, envelopes and other packaging.

Kraft paper is usually brown in colour.

Kraft paper is widely available in both sheet and roll form.

Kraft paper is manufactured using a technique called the kraft process which involves treatment of wood chips with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide that break the bonds that link lignin to the cellulose.

Kraft paper is nowadays not only used in roll and sheet form but also in paper bags.
