■ Features of Kami-Air Design Window

Kami-Air Design Window is a packaging bag that allows for its contents to be seen, made from white kraft paper that has been developed for transparency. The window is made transparent by applying a special process to the paper itself, which eliminates the need to laminate different materials such as plastic or glassine paper, which are usually required for window processing. The product is also characterized by its transparent portion having a high level of designability. Replacing conventional plastic film packaging with this product significantly contributes to reducing the plastic used in packaging.
