Window Boxes

Description

In a world full of packaging that obscures what’s inside, window boxes do something daring: they show it off. Whether you’re dealing with baked goods, beauty products, or candles, letting your creation glance through the packaging builds confidence, creates interest, and stimulates buyers to pick it up.

At Packaging Bank, we create custom window box packaging that’s as smart as it is stunning — all made right here in the USA. From eco-kraft boxes with die-cut windows to premium printed packaging with clear PVC panels, our window boxes are designed to turn heads and drive sales.

Let’s dive into what makes window boxes a packaging favorite — and how Packaging Bank can make yours stand out on the shelf and in your customers’ hands.

What Are Window Boxes?

Window boxes are cartons that feature a die-cut opening, often covered with a transparent film (like PVC or PET), to reveal part of the product inside.

They’re the perfect balance of protection and presentation. The box keeps your product safe; the window gives shoppers a reason to stop, look, and buy.

Popular uses include:

•  Soaps and bath bombs

•  Bakery and confectionery

•  Skincare or cosmetics

•  Candles and glassware

•  Gift sets or subscription boxes

•  Clothing or accessories

At Packaging Bank, our custom window boxes are fully tailored to your product’s size, brand aesthetic, and retail needs.

Real-Life Use Case: Artisan Bakery Boosts Sales

One of our favorite success stories? A local bakery in Portland, OR came to Packaging Bank looking to refresh their cookie packaging. We designed a kraft tuck box with a heart-shaped window and a soft matte finish.

The result?

•  Sales increased 35% in the first 2 months

•  More customers buying multi-packs as gifts

•  Instagram engagement up 50% (thanks to the “cute factor”)

Their product didn’t change — their packaging did. And that made all the difference.

Design Tips from Packaging Bank

Want your window box to shine (literally and figuratively)? Here are some packaging design tips straight from the Packaging Bank team:

1. Highlight your best side
     Design the window to frame the part of the product that “sells” it — a swirl of frosting, a shimmering label, a handmade texture.

2. Get creative with shapes
     Don’t limit yourself to squares or rectangles. Think hearts, stars, circles, or even custom-cut logos.

3. Play with layers
     Use window boxes with inner trays or inserts to hold your product in the perfect position.

4. Don’t forget the rest of the box
     Windows are great, but don’t neglect your brand colors, story, and logo. It all works together.

5. Think sustainable
     Ask about biodegradable films or go film-free with an open window.
