A window box is a standard folding carton with a die-cut opening covered by a clear film panel, letting the product show through without opening the box. It’s used whenever seeing the product is part of the sale, from a bakery item to a gift set.
The window can be cut into the front panel, the lid, or a side panel depending on how the product sits inside. Boxify Now recommends placement based on your product’s shape so the most appealing angle is visible.
A window can be added to almost any folding carton style, including tuck-top, gable, and gift boxes. It pairs especially well with our Gable Boxes and bakery-style cartons.
Full-color printing covers the rest of the panel around the window, carrying your logo, brand colors, and product information in the space the window doesn’t take up.
Send your product’s dimensions and a note on where you’d like the window placed, and Boxify Now will prepare a free design proof before production begins.
