SBS Board
Smooth white board for premium printed retail packaging.
Custom kraft window boxes let customers see the product before opening the pack. Made in bespoke sizes for food, gifts and retail products with branded printing.
Product details
Some products sell because of their appearance. Fresh cookies, handmade soaps, cupcakes, candles and gift items often catch attention long before a customer reads the label. Hiding them inside a fully enclosed carton removes part of that appeal.
A kraft box with window gives shoppers a clear view of what’s inside while still protecting the product during handling, storage and display. The window becomes part of the presentation rather than an extra feature added at the end.
Not every product benefit from the same window shape. A cupcake usually needs a centred opening that frames the decoration. A loaf cake may require a long rectangular window, while a square kraft box with window can suit candles, soaps and confectionery—exactly what custom window boxes are designed to accommodate.
The opening should reveal enough of the product without weakening the structure or exposing areas that need protection. This balance is decided during the structural design, not after the artwork has been completed.
Natural brown board is the version most people recognise, but it isn’t the only option. Some brands choose a brown kraft box with window to highlight handmade or artisan products. Others prefer a white kraft box with window because colours reproduce differently on a lighter surface. The board colour changes the overall feel of the packaging, even when the structural design stays exactly the same.
For bakery products, presentation is only one part of the job. Kraft bakery boxes with window offer recyclable and biodegradable properties while providing the structural strength needed for cakes, cookies, and cupcakes.
A kraft cake box with window is designed differently from kraft cookie boxes with window or kraft cupcake boxes with window because the weight, height and internal space are rarely identical. Packaging works best when it is built around the product rather than selected from a standard size list.
Customers often pick up a product because they want to see it more closely. Where the contents are already visible through the packaging, there is less reason to open the box before purchase.
That can be particularly useful for handmade products where the finish, texture or decoration influences buying decisions. For retailers, it also helps keep packaged goods looking tidy throughout the selling period.
A carton sitting on a retail shelf faces different conditions from one travelling through a courier network. If the same packaging is expected to do both jobs, the board grade and structural design should reflect that.
Some businesses use a kraft gift box with window for in-store sales and a separate shipping carton for online orders. Others prefer a single packaging solution that works across both channels. The right choice depends on how the product reaches the customer.
