In-process controls and batch-level traceability. Window pull/peel and drop tests can be reported on a project basis.
Frequently Asked Questions
PET/PP film is typically used. According to local regulations, film and carton should be collected separately; windowless options are also available.
With the correct bonding strip width (min. 6–8 mm), suitable adhesive, and surface treatment, the window remains secure. Product-based prototyping and pull tests are recommended.
Generally, 6–8 mm margin and R2–R3 mm corner radius are recommended; these vary by material and format.
Choose offset for detailed visuals and a premium look; choose flexo for simpler graphics and cost advantages. For microflute constructions, offset is used as lamination.
