Custom Window Boxes for CBD & Cannabis

  • From 100 boxes
  • 95 cents a box at volume
  • Free design

CBD packaging has to carry a lot of required copy and still look like something a person wants to buy, and the rules change by state.

Cartons with room for your compliance panel, batch codes and QR codes, printed so the brand still comes first. We'll lay it out with you.

Why this box

When window boxes are the right call

Buy a window when the product is the pretty part. A clear panel sells a soap bar or a candle better than a photograph of one printed on the outside. Skip it if the contents are visually dull, or if the product is light sensitive, because a window lets daylight in as well as eyes.

How it is made

What happens on press

The same carton or mailer, with the window shape cut by the die and a clear film patched over the opening from the inside. That patch is an extra pass on the machine, which is why a window adds a little to the price and a day or two to the run.

Sizes

Will your product fit?

Three sizes that cover most orders. They are a starting point rather than a menu, because every box is cut to your own measurements, so if your product lands between two rows we make the one in between.

What we'd suggest

What cbd & cannabis brands usually order

Folding cartons with a compliance panel, and often more versions than the brand expected, because the rules differ by state and somebody selling across a few of them may need more than one carton. Child resistant closures come up early and it is worth being straight about it: we can advise on the carton, and we cannot certify a closure for you.

Worth knowing

A mistake worth avoiding

Designing the carton before the legal copy is signed off. The panel almost always grows, and it grows into the space the logo was sitting in. Get the copy approved first. It is the cheapest hour on the whole project.

What you get

Why cbd & cannabis brands choose these

  • Clear PET or PLA window, cut to any shape
  • Works on cartons, mailers and sleeves
  • Food safe options for bakery and confectionery
  • Full color printing around the window

Worth comparing before you order

Window Boxes are not the only format that suits CBD and cannabis brands. These are the others we would put in front of you, and we will tell you if one of them is cheaper for what you actually ship.

Straight answers

Questions

If yours is not here, just ask. A real person reads every message and you will not get signed up to a mailing list for it.

Ask us anything

Why custom window boxes for CBD and cannabis brands?

CBD packaging has to carry a lot of required copy and still look like something a person wants to buy, and the rules change by state. Cartons with room for your compliance panel, batch codes and QR codes, printed so the brand still comes first. We'll lay it out with you.

What is the smallest order?

100 boxes, which is a realistic first run for a growing cbd & cannabis brand. You get a proper printed box without committing to thousands of them.

What does a run actually cost?

Window Boxes start at 95 cents a box at volume. A first run of 100 to 250 lands higher per box, because the setup costs the same whatever the quantity. Use the estimator on this page for a range, then ask for a real number.

Can you match our brand colors and finish?

Yes. We print in full color to match your brand, and offer finishes like matte, gloss, soft touch and foil. The design help is free. Colour on press is close to a screen rather than identical, so send a Pantone reference if you have one and we will hold to it as tightly as the process allows.

What artwork do you need?

A vector logo, so an AI, EPS or PDF file. If you only have a PNG, send it and we will tell you honestly whether it prints cleanly at that size. Redrawing a simple logo is part of the free design work, not an extra charge.

How long until they arrive?

Production on window boxes runs 3 to 5 days once you approve the digital proof, then a few days in transit anywhere in the lower 48. If you have a launch date, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is possible.

Will I get exactly the quantity I ordered?

Usually, and plan for up to 10 percent either way. Over and under runs are standard across printed packaging, because sheets get used up getting the press dialled in. Tell us the number you cannot go below and we will run to that instead.

Can we start small and reorder later?

That is the sensible way to do it. Order 100 to prove the size and the artwork, then order properly once you know the box is right. We keep your artwork and your dieline on file, so a reorder is one message and the same box turns up again at the same specification.

What goes wrong most often on a first order?

Ordering before measuring. A box a few millimetres too big lets the product rattle around, and a box a few millimetres too small is scrap. Print our free dieline at full size, fold it around the actual product, then order. It costs an afternoon and it can save the whole run.

Do window boxes ship flat or assembled?

Flat in almost every case, which is good news for your freight bill, because flat board packs tight and you are not paying to ship air. Rigid boxes are the exception: they cannot be knocked down, which is part of why they cost more to send.

Can we see one before we commit?

Yes, and you should. The sample pack is free, shipping is $9.95 flat and comes off your first order, and board thickness and finish are the two things a screen genuinely cannot show you. For a cbd & cannabis product the thing worth checking is how the board behaves at the size you actually need.
