Custom Window Boxes

Custom window boxes let shoppers see your product before they buy it. A die-cut window, usually covered with a clear film, turns the box into a small display case while the printed panels around it carry your logo, product details and brand colors. Packwhole makes window boxes to your exact size, shape and design.

Why Brands Choose Custom Window Boxes

• Show the product: customers can check color, texture and quality without opening the pack.
• Build trust: seeing the real item reduces doubt, especially for food, cosmetics and handmade goods.
• Stand out on the shelf: the window draws the eye, and the print around it tells your brand story.
• Protect while displaying: the box still shields the product from dust and handling.

Popular Uses for Window Packaging

• Bakery and treats: cookies, cupcakes, macarons and chocolates. See custom cookie boxes and cupcake boxes.
• Cosmetics and skincare: lipsticks, soaps, serums and gift sets. See cosmetic boxes.
• Retail goods: toys, accessories, candles and small electronics. See retail packaging supplies.
• Gifts: holiday sets and favors where the contents are part of the appeal. See custom gift boxes with logo.

Window Shapes and Box Styles

The window can be almost any shape: a simple rectangle, a circle, an oval, a heart, or a shape that matches your logo or product. It can sit on the front panel, wrap around a corner or appear on the lid. Common box styles with windows include:

• Tuck end boxes for single retail items
• Bakery boxes with a lid window
• Sleeves with a cut-out that shows the tray inside. See tray and sleeve boxes.
• Gable and pillow boxes for favors and snacks. See gable boxes and pillow boxes.

Materials, Printing and Finishes

• Paperboard: smooth and bright for sharp full-color printing.
• Kraft board: a natural look for organic, rustic and eco-minded brands. See custom kraft boxes.
• Corrugated board: extra strength for heavier products.

Boxes can be printed in CMYK or Pantone colors, inside and outside, with finishes such as matte or gloss lamination, spot UV, foil stamping and embossing. The window can be left open or covered with a clear film to keep the product clean. Inserts can be added to hold the product in place behind the window.
