About this packaging

Window boxes that let your product sell itself

A die-cut window turns your packaging into a mini display. Customers see the product before they buy, which builds trust and drives impulse sales on busy shelves.

Windows in any shape

Choose a rectangle, circle, oval or custom shape that echoes your logo or product, placed on the front, lid or side panel. Add clear PET film to protect the contents, or leave the window open.

Popular uses

Window boxes are a favourite for bakery treats, cosmetics, soaps, candles, toys and apparel — anywhere the product itself is the best advertisement.

Which Window Box Style Is Right for You?

Tuck end window box

Best for: Soaps, cosmetics and other products customers want to see first. Window in any shape on the front, lid or side panel, with or without clear PET film.

Two-piece window box

Best for: Gift Window Box and Luxury Window Box presentations. Two pieces, with a window in the lid or front panel so the product is visible before the box is opened.

Multiple-window gable box

Best for: Products that deserve to be seen from more than one side. Gable style with windows in more than one position, so customers can see the product from different angles.

Sleeve window box

Best for: Bakery treats, cosmetics and soaps that sell on sight. Sleeve style with a window that lets the product show through, printed inside and outside in full color.

Gable window box

Best for: Bakery treats, candles and toys on a busy shelf. Gable style with a window to show the product, with or without clear PET film.

Pillow window box

Best for: Small soaps, cosmetics and other small products. Pillow style with a window to show the product, in fully custom dimensions.

By product

Window Boxes by Product Type

Bakery treats

A window lets customers see the treat before they buy. Food-grade paperboard and film options are available for bakery and food products, with clear PET film to protect the contents or an open window.

Cosmetics

A window lets customers see the color and finish before they buy. Choose a rectangle, circle, oval or custom window on the front, lid or side panel, with clear PET film or an open window, and full-color printing inside and outside.

Soaps

Let customers see the soap before they buy. A window in any shape on the front, lid or side panel shows the color, texture and finish, with clear PET film to protect it or an open window, in fully custom dimensions.

Candles

A window shows the candle on a busy shelf before the box is opened. Choose a gable, tuck end or two-piece window box in fully custom dimensions, with a window in any shape and clear PET film or an open window.

Toys

A window lets customers see the toy on a busy shelf. Choose a gable, tuck end or two-piece window box in fully custom dimensions, with a window in any shape and clear PET film or an open window.

Gifts

A window turns a gift box into part of the gift. Choose a two-piece window box so the gift is visible before the box is opened, with a window in any shape and clear PET film or an open window.

Packaging for different sales channels

Online store

The window lets customers see the product as soon as the box arrives, with clear PET film to protect it or an open window.

Boutique or retail shelf

On a busy shelf, the product itself is the best advertisement. A window in any shape, printed in full color inside and outside, lets customers see it before they buy.

Seasonal and holiday sets

Use fully custom dimensions and full-color printing inside and outside to match the season, then change the artwork for the next one, while the window keeps the product visible.
Eco-friendly

Eco-Friendly Window Box Options

Paperboard is recyclable, and film-free windows make recycling even easier. Window boxes are available in SBS paperboard, kraft and corrugated, with food-grade paperboard and film options for bakery and food products. If you have a specific material need, mention it in the quote form and we will tell you what we can do.

Three simple ways to cut waste

1. Order the right size. A box made to fully custom dimensions fits the product, so it needs less filler.
2. Leave the window film-free. Film-free windows make recycling even easier, while still letting customers see the product.
3. Choose kraft paperboard. Kraft is one of the paperboard options for window boxes, with a natural look that still lets the product show through the window.

Custom Packaging Options for Every Industry

Choose the finish, print method, coating and material that suit your product. Our team will help you pick the right mix for your brand and budget.

Special Finishes

Finishing is what turns a good box into a memorable one. Add metallic hot foil, raised embossing, glossy spot UV or pressed-in debossing to highlight your logo and key details, the small touches that make customers stop, look and pick your product up. Finishes can be combined on the same box, for example gold foil on an embossed logo with a spot UV pattern, and our team will show you what works best for your artwork and budget before anything is printed.

Printing Methods

We match the print method to your quantity, artwork and budget. Offset printing gives sharp, color-accurate results for larger runs, digital printing is ideal for short runs and fast turnaround, screen printing delivers bold solid colors, and UV printing adds vivid, durable ink to almost any surface. We print in full-color CMYK or exact Pantone brand colors, inside and outside the box, and every order comes with a free digital proof so you can check colors and layout first.

Coating & Laminations

Coatings protect your print from scuffs, moisture and fingerprints while setting the look and feel of your box. Choose matte for a soft, modern finish, gloss for vibrant shine, soft-touch for a velvety premium feel, or eco-friendly aqueous coating for everyday protection. A coating also makes colors look richer and helps your boxes stay clean and sharp from the warehouse to the customer’s hands.

Materials / Paper We Use

Every box starts with the right board. Rigid chipboard gives a sturdy luxury feel, kraft paperboard offers a natural and recyclable look, corrugated board protects products through shipping, and SBS cardstock provides a bright, smooth surface for crisp full-color printing. We use recyclable materials wherever possible. Not sure which board is right for your product? Tell us what you are packing and how it ships, and we will recommend the best material for strength, look and price.
