Windowed Gable Boxes – Functional Elegance with a Clear Product View
Windowed gable boxes offer the perfect combination of form and function, allowing customers to preview your product through a transparent window while benefiting from the practicality of gable-style packaging. At Print Custom Box UK, we design and produce custom windowed gable boxes that elevate presentation, enhance product visibility, and support sustainable packaging practices.
These boxes feature the same easy-carry handle and peaked top as standard gable boxes but include a die-cut window (with or without film covering), providing a clear look at the contents inside. Ideal for baked goods, gifts, cosmetics, and event giveaways, windowed gable boxes are a smart packaging choice that drives attention and trust.
What Are Windowed Gable Boxes?
Windowed gable boxes are one-piece folding cartons with a built-in carry handle and a gable-style top, equipped with a transparent or open window on one or more panels. The window can be custom-shaped—round, square, heart, oval, or fully bespoke—to reflect brand personality and enhance product visibility.
These boxes are flat-packed for easy storage and can be quickly assembled, making them a go-to packaging solution for a variety of retail, food, and event applications.

- Bakery and patisserie takeaway packaging
