  3. Paper windows

Paper windows packaging show how much you really care

Solutions

You’ve got a wonderful product happening, like healthy granola, artisan coffee beans or tea, pasta. Or a precious cosmetics product like shampoo or moisturizer, made with the utmost care, and as responsibly as you can.

But then you go on to give a glimpse of your pride and joy through a plastic window in your packaging? Pl*stic?

No need to make that compromise anymore: you can make your packaging eco-friendly and 100% recyclable with folding carton and paper windows, to show your customers how much you truly care.
 

Switch to paper window packaging. Just like that

Is it that simple? Yes, it is. Paper window technology offers you a wide range of looks and options nowadays. From clear to semi-transparent and a white paper look.

They’re as sturdy and safe as ‘that other material’. And they fit your production and filling lines just like that. Applied via your classic window patcher or label applicator, and done.
