What is “Transparent Paper Box / Window Paper Box”

These are usually folding-carton boxes made of paperboard or cardboard, with a window cut out and replaced with a transparent sheet (often PVC, PET, or sometimes cellophane/selefon) to show the product inside. They may also refer to boxes that are mostly paper but have large window features or partial transparency.

Approximate Wholesale Manufacturing Prices

Here are rough price ranges in Turkey for paper/board boxes with transparent windows, depending on quantity, materials, finishing etc. These are approximate and will depend a lot on the details (size, material grade, print, transparency, complexity of window). Prices are in Turkish Lira (TL) where possible or via USD converted roughly.

Some specific examples:

• The “Window Box 1” from Kutu Fabrikası: minimum production is 1,000 units, made with custom size, windows (PVC or selefon), custom printing, etc. They do not list a public unit price but the MOQ and finishing options indicate that cost will be modestly high for small orders. www.kbcprinting.com
• KBC Printing’s “custom‐logo printed window paper boxes & bags”: for 1,000-5,000 pcs with board of ~300-350 gsm, 2-colour print, windows etc., estimate is ₺60-₺120 each depending on how fancy the finish is. kbcprinting.com

Production Technique / Steps

Here is a typical production flow for paper boxes with transparent windows in Turkey (or similar places). The cost depends heavily on the details at each step.

1. Design & Technical Spec
   • Define size / dimensions, strength (board grade), window size & position, printing (number of colours, inside/outside), finishing (lamination, UV, foil, embossing etc.), safe for food or not, approvals etc.
2. Material Procurement
   • Paperboard / cardboard (various grammages, e.g. 250-400 gsm etc.)
   • Transparent film/window sheet: PVC, PET, maybe cellophane / selefon.
   • Adhesives, inks, lamination films, finishing materials (foil, varnish etc.)
3. Die-Cutting / Cutting
   • Cutting the sheet board into the blank shapes with window cut-out (or the window cut later)
   • Making the die (tool) for cutting; a fixed cost, especially for custom window shapes.
4. Window Insertion
   • After the window is cut out, attaching the transparent film into the open window via adhesive or heat sealing, depending on the materials.
   • If using “selefon” (thin plastic film) vs thicker film; installation process could differ (manual or semi-automatic).
5. Printing
   • Could be offset printing, flexo, or digital, depending on quantity.
   • Printing may be outside only, or both inside & outside.
   • Colors, registration accuracy, finishing affect cost.
6. Lamination / Coating / Finishing
   • Application of laminate (matte / gloss / soft touch etc.), UV varnish or spot UV, foil stamping, embossing or debossing if required.
   • This may come before or after the window is attached depending on the design.
7. Folding / Gluing / Assembly
   • Folding creases, gluing tabs. If box is simple folding style.
   • Inspection of quality (edges, alignment, window clarity, glue visibility etc.)
8. Quality Control
   • Visual inspection, testing of glue strength, window clarity, ensuring finishes are consistent, checking dimensions and folding lines.
   • For food packaging, also test whether inner lining is grease-proof or safe.
9. Packing & Shipping
   • Whether boxes are shipped flat (folded flat) or are pre-assembled.
   • Bulk packing, palletizing, shipping time. Delivery timeframe also affects price.

Key Cost Drivers / What Raises or Lowers Price

Here are the levers to watch out for:

• Quantity (order size): This is usually the biggest factor. Larger orders dramatically reduce per-unit fixed cost (tooling, set-up, waste etc.).
• Board grade / paper thickness: Heavier board, specialty papers cost more. If food-grade or with inner barrier (greaseproof etc.), cost is higher.
• Window material: PET vs PVC vs thin film; transparency quality, thickness, clarity, whether food-safe etc.
• Design complexity: custom dielines, custom window shapes, many folds, special closures etc. cost more.
• Finishes: laminations, coatings, foil stamping, embossing etc. add cost.
• Printing work: number of colours, full bleed printing, inside printing, high resolution etc. increase cost.
• Lead times: faster delivery or rush orders cost extra.
• Food safety / certifications: if needed for food packaging, you may need inner lining, compliant materials, possibly regulatory approvals.
• Transport / shipping / packaging: how far shipped, whether exporting, whether fragile, whether pre-assembled or flat, etc.
