Process for forming a window in a carton

A process for fabricating a container with a non-heat-seal window comprising the steps of:

• forming a container template out of a low surface energy container stock material, wherein an inside surface of the container template has a surface energy that is not greater than 40 dynes and comprises a plurality of fill level lines indicating a remaining volume within the container;
• cutting an opening in the container template;
• sizing the window to overlap the opening, the window comprising a window stock material, a releasable liner, and a two sided adhesive pre-applied to an entire exterior surface of the window stock material via a wipe on applicator, wherein the two sided adhesive is sandwiched between the entire exterior surface of the window stock material and the releasable liner;
• cutting a portion of the releasable liner to fit the opening;
• exposing a portion of the two sided adhesive previously covered by the cut portion of the releasable liner, and wherein the remaining adhesive remains sandwiched between the exterior surface of the window stock material and the releasable liner sized to cover the opening;
• securing the window to an inside surface of the container template to cover the opening where the two sided adhesive completely wets out the entire inside surface of the container in contact with the window during adhesion;
• and
• folding the container template into the container.
