Custom Soap Boxes With Window
Soap sells on color, swirls and texture, and a window lets shoppers see all of it before they buy. Our soap boxes with window combine a printed box that carries your brand with a die cut opening that shows the bar inside. They are one of the most popular styles in our range of custom soap boxes.
Everything About Soap Boxes With Window
Why use a window on your soap box
- Shoppers see the product: colors, layers and botanicals do the selling for you.
- More trust: customers know exactly what they are getting, which lowers returns and builds repeat sales.
- Brand space stays intact: the rest of the box still carries your logo, story and ingredients.
- Scent friendly: an open window lets customers smell the soap in store.
Window shapes and options
- Classic rectangle, circle, oval or arch
- Custom shapes such as a leaf, flower, heart or your logo outline (see die cut soap boxes)
- Clear PET film to keep dust out, or an open cut out for scent and airflow
- Windows on the front, the top, or wrapping around a corner
Kraft window soap boxes
Pair a window with brown kraft board for a natural look that still shows off the bar. This combination is a favorite for organic, goat milk and oatmeal soaps. See our full range of kraft soap boxes for more options.
Who uses soap boxes with window
- Swirl and layered soap makers: the bar design is the selling point, so it should be seen.
- Goat milk, oat and honey soaps: a window shows the natural texture and builds trust.
- Glycerin and clear soaps: a window lets light pass through the bar for a striking shelf display.
- Gift shops and boutiques: shoppers like to see and smell the product before they buy.
Design tips for window soap boxes
- Place the window where the bar looks best: usually the front face, but a top window works for soaps with embeds.
- Leave a strong border: at least [0.5 inch] of board around the window keeps the box sturdy.
- Let the window frame the brand: put your logo above or below the window, not across it.
- Repeat the bar color in the print: if your soap is green, add a touch of green to the box design.
- Check the bar position: the window should show the best part of the bar, not the edge.
