Windows stand alongside print enhancements and shape as key factors in packaging.

The 'First Moment of Truth' is strongly influenced by consumers' aversion to buying sight unseen. They want to know what's inside that attractively designed carton. Integrated windows are thus not just for candy and cosmetics. They're also prominent features of toy and DIY product packaging as well.

Depending on the product and customer preference, the windows can either be laid in or glued down. Panorama packaging is especially attractive, since it provides a view of the contents along three sides and frames the product beautifully. Up to four soft flex points provide a clear view of the product.

Window sheets for all areas of application

Thanks to cutting edge machine technology, the STI Group can process a broad range of window materials (PET, PE, PVC, PP) in widths of 50 – 250 μm, either individual cut or taken from a roll. Printed window sheets can be glued in precisely to extend the packaging's print motifs to the window as well.
