Window-Patched Printed Carton

A printed carton with an aperture cut in the front panel and a clear film glued behind it. The buyer sees the product; the carton still carries the whole brand message.

Where it fits

Food, tea, confectionery and cosmetics where the product itself is the best argument. Also used where regulations require the contents to be visible before purchase.

What you can specify

• Dimensions — built to your product, no fixed size range.
• Board — 300–400 gsm FSC-certified folding boxboard (GC1 or SBS); the film is 12–15 micron PET or PVC, glued on the inside of the front panel.
• Printing & finish — offset CMYK plus Pantone; the aperture edge must be printed solid or the white board core shows as a pale line around the window.
• Structure — die-cut aperture with glued PET or PVC film patch; shape and corner radius to your artwork.

What decides the price

Whether the window is patched by hand or in-line, and the film grade. A large aperture needs a thicker film or it sags against the product in warm transit.
