About window sleeves
Letting the product sell itself visually tends to matter most at physical retail, so this style is popular with brands that rely on shelf presence rather than online listings alone.
A window sleeve has an opening cut into it so the product can be seen from outside. The window can be a plain die-cut hole, or it can be covered with a clear film so the product stays protected from dust and handling. The printed area around the window frames the product and carries your branding.
Windows help when shoppers want to see the product before buying: baked goods, candles, toys, games and gift sets. Plan the window size and position before you fix the sleeve size, and keep a margin of solid board around its edge so the sleeve stays strong. A window can go on one side or several.

Frequently asked questions
What window styles can a sleeve have?
The two most common are a die-cut window, which is a hole cut in the board, and a clear window with a thin transparent film behind the opening. Tell us in your quote request if you want a rotating or reveal window, and we'll advise on the design.
Can a window sleeve have a window on all four sides?
Yes. A window can go on one, two or all four sides. Each window adds die-cut complexity, and the board between windows needs to stay strong, so we check the layout before printing.
How much solid board do I need around the window?
Keep at least 1/4 inch of solid board around the window edge so it doesn't tear. Decide the window size and position before you finalize the sleeve dimensions.
Can a window sleeve also have a handle or hang tab?
Yes, windows combine with other features such as handles, tear strips and hang tabs. Describe what you need in the notes of your quote request and we'll confirm it works.
