About this product
CartonWindow splits the job in two. A paperboard sleeve carries the brand story, the unboxing feel and the shelf presence of a carton, while the nested pouch does the barrier work that keeps food fresh. The die-cut window frames the pouch front so the two layers read as one object rather than two pieces of packaging. Monochrome editorial typography with a single crimson rule creates a confident, magazine-like look for limited editions and gift sets. In the rebuilt 36-SKU green matrix this product is re-homed to parameter family KP-ECO-002 - Paper-First Repulpable Flat-Bottom Pouch - on the basis of structure-first match: paperboard sleeve over a pouch; assigned to the paper-first family as a fibre-led format variant. The family design direction is: Maximise the fibre share and keep the liner as thin as the barrier requirement allows; use a water-based or dispersion barrier coating instead of a full plastic layer where possible; avoid foil, metallised film and plastic windows; keep the closure either paper-compatible or a single small PE part so fibre recovery is not blocked. The front panel stays blank and carries no brand of ours, so the buyer's own label can be applied. Nothing here is a verified environmental statement: CLAIM PENDING - NOT VERIFIED. No repulpability, paper-recycling, recyclability, compostability or bio-based content claim is validated for this SKU. The fibre share, the liner material and the actual repulpability of the finished pack under a mill test are all unverified. Any fibre-first wording must wait for a mill or laboratory repulpability result and a resin declaration; until then describe the pack only as 'paper-first construction direction - recovery behaviour under verification'. Duties & taxes are not included in quoted prices.
For US and Canadian premium and gift-positioned SKUs, where carton structure justifies a higher price point while the inner pouch keeps the barrier performance a printed carton alone cannot deliver. Re-homed into the KP-ECO-002 family, the North America positioning holds: Aimed at North American cat-food brands that want a paper-forward look in the aisle and a story that can be told honestly at the fibre-recycling stage once testing is done. The square flat-bottom format stacks neatly on a 4 in facing and ships flat, which suits e-commerce parcels and club-store display trays.
