Paper window bags are a staple in the agricultural industry. Due to their sturdy paper construction and the window that allows product to be showcased, many retail agricultural operations prefer the paper window bag over any other packaging option.
While there is an argument to be made for not messing with a good thing, or fixing something that isn’t broken, the paper window bag has seen some significant changes recently.
Let’s explore the paper window bag in more detail and examine these recent changes and the trends that spurred them.
Paper window bags are pretty much exactly what you would expect from the name – paper bags with windows in them. However, they aren’t exactly that simple.
The bag itself is constructed of heavy-duty paper, making it strong enough to stand up to abuse while being flexible enough to be used in many different applications.
The “window” is often made of a clear plastic sheet that covers an opening in the paper bag. However, mesh windows are used commonly as well. Meshes can come in different colors to match the color of the potatoes (example: red mesh to match red potatoes and so on). The window offers several benefits, including:
Recently, a shift in trends has led to the window in paper window bags to be moved to the rear, instead of its traditional front placement. While the relocation of the window’s placement may seem like a relatively minor matter, the move offers a few benefits to today’s manufacturing and retail operations.
These benefits include:
It is important to note that while many vendors have embraced moving the window to the rear of the bag, most will continue to offer the classic paper window bag in its original configuration with the window in the front of the packaging.
