Custom Kraft Window Pouches
Kraft window pouches combine a paper outer appearance with a transparent area that shows the contents. Plan the window and closure with the complete material structure.
Standard MOQ: 500 pcs per style, size and artwork. Higher quantities may apply to special specifications. Sample timing and production timing are quoted for the project.
Specification for Kraft Window Pouches
| Specification | Project input |
|---|---|
| Pouch dimensions | Width, height, gusset if required and usable filling space. State the contents and intended fill weight. |
| Window layout | Window shape, position and the amount of product you want visible. Keep the window clear of seals and required artwork. |
| Material construction | Kraft outer layer, window film, product-contact layer and thickness. Confirm the complete structure for the intended use. |
| Opening and closure | Filling opening, zipper if required, tear notch and primary heat seal. Review compatibility with the filling equipment. |
| Artwork | Printed faces, colours, window outline and space for supplied text or codes. PDF, AI or CDR artwork can be reviewed with JPG/PNG references. |
| Quantity and delivery | Quantity per style, size and artwork, destination and target date. Standard MOQ is 500 pieces; some specifications require more. |
Kraft, window film and contact layers
A kraft exterior describes the outer appearance. The complete layer structure must suit the contents, filling and storage requirements.
| Material detail | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Kraft surface | Specify the paper appearance and review printing on the actual material. |
| Transparent area | Agree window film and placement with the rest of the pouch construction. |
| Inner and sealing layers | Confirm the product-contact and sealing layers for the stated contents and filling process. |
| Documentation | Identify the intended use and destination. Do not infer barrier performance or disposal claims from the kraft appearance alone. |
Pouch dimensions and visible contents
Plan the filled pouch rather than only its flat outline. The window should show the intended part of the contents after filling.
- Give width, height, gusset and units, or provide a reference sample.
- Allow for seals, zipper position and the usable filling opening.
- List quantities separately for each size and artwork version.
Printing around the window
Mark the window on the dieline before preparing artwork. Keep key messages and required product information on areas that remain readable when filled.
- Specify printed faces, colours and any unprinted areas.
- Review colour on the actual kraft surface; screen previews show layout.
- Reserve space for batch codes and other supplied information.
Surface appearance and window clarity
Review the printed surface and transparent area on a physical sample. Available finishes depend on the selected layers and production method.
- Check text contrast against the kraft colour.
- Confirm the window outline, position and visibility of the actual contents.
- Assess the filled pouch for creasing or artwork distortion around folds.
Filling, zipper and primary seal
A zipper provides reclosure where specified. Confirm the primary sealing step and the filling opening separately with your packing process.
- Identify the filling equipment and intended sealing conditions.
- Check access through the opening and the position of any tear notch.
- Agree how empty pouches should be counted, oriented and packed for delivery.
Sample checks before production
Use the actual contents to check filled shape, window placement, opening and closure. The visible sample does not establish a fixed barrier level or shelf life.
- Check dimensions and usable capacity with the intended fill.
- Review printing and window clarity under normal viewing conditions.
- Confirm the primary seal and any zipper with the filling process.
- Approve the sample and artwork version before production.
Sample fees, shipping and timing are quoted per project. Choose the appropriate sample stage.

Custom Stand Up Pouches
The bottom gusset lets the pouch stand upright when the fill and shape are suitable. The filled product, base and seal design are considered together.
Custom Flat Pouches
Flat pouches provide a compact format without a standing base. Seal width and the opening position affect the useful packing area.
Custom Flat Bottom Pouches
The defined base and side panels form a box-like shape when filled. Multiple panels create room for product information and branding.

Custom Kraft Window Pouches FAQ
Yes. Send the proposed shape and position with your artwork or reference. We review the window against the pouch dimensions, seals and selected material structure before sampling.
Not necessarily. The transparent window, sealing layer and any other layers must be specified separately. Do not treat the kraft appearance as evidence that the whole pouch is paper-only or recyclable.
Check usable capacity, the contents visible through the window, the filling opening, primary seal and any zipper. Review printing and window placement on the filled pouch.
The standard MOQ is 500 pcs per style, size and artwork. Special materials or constructions may require more. The quotation confirms the applicable quantity, sample arrangements and production timing.
