Kraft window boxes bring together a kraft board box and a clear window panel, so the product shows through against the natural kraft surface. The mix of a warm, understated stock and a clear view of the contents suits retail and gifting lines where the item is part of the appeal.
Working with the aperture
The window size and position frame what is seen. A larger cut shows more of the product but removes board that stiffens the box, so it is best kept away from load-bearing edges. How the item sits behind the window matters too, since a snug fit keeps it centred and looking deliberate.
Fit and print
Print and structure work around the cut-out.
- Size the window to frame the product cleanly
- Keep cut-outs clear of stressed edges
- Plan artwork around the window on the kraft surface
Ordering and print
Where print sits near the window, small shifts between the cut and the artwork can show, so leave a little clearance around the aperture. If a range shares a size, a common box with changing print keeps stock simple. Share the product, how it sits behind the window and your artwork when you request a quote, so the cut, fit and print can be set together.
These boxes are made to your custom size. A sample confirms how the product presents through the window before a run.
