Paper Tubes with Window.

Centred on the body, away from both end caps. A tube gets its strength from a continuous wall, and the area near the caps takes the most handling force.

A window near an end weakens the part of the tube the customer grips to open it. Body-centre placement keeps the wall strong where it matters and puts the product at eye level on a shelf.

A tall, narrow window costs far less strength than a wide band, and a window running the full body height is not recommended. Every aperture removes load-bearing material from the wall.

We size the window against the wall thickness rather than to a rule. A heavier chipboard core allows a larger window than a light kraft wall, so tell us how much you want to show and we set the wall to suit.

Clear PET for the sharpest, glossiest view of the product. Frosted film for a softer partial reveal. Clear is the usual choice for confectionery and colourful goods. Frosted suits a premium brief where a hint is enough.

Both are the same film weight and fit the same aperture, so the choice is about how much you want to show.

The film sits behind the wrap, so the outer surface stays flush. Nothing sticks up to catch or peel, and the wrap print runs cleanly to the edge of the aperture.

The film is bonded to the inside of the body around the cut, which also reinforces the edge of the aperture.

Yes. The wrap is printed with the aperture as part of the layout, so artwork frames the window rather than stopping short of it. A printed border or a keyline around the cut is a common detail.

We supply the wrap template with the window position marked, so you design around it from the start.

Yes, with a food-grade liner on the wound body and a food-safe film on the window. The liner covers the inside of the wall, and the film is chosen for contact.

Confectionery, biscuits, tea and dried goods are the usual applications, because the window is what sells a product whose best feature is how it looks.

300 units in one size, window shape and print design. Common builds are 2 by 6 inches and 3 by 8 inches, and the window is die-cut to any shape.

A new window shape needs its own cutting die. That is a one-time cost on the first order and is not charged again on reorders.

7 to 10 business days from approval of artwork, or 5 to 7 on a rush order. The die-cut and the film application are part of the standard process and do not add to the lead time.

A sample takes 5 to 7 business days and is the place to check that the window shows what you want it to show when the tube is filled.
