I am looking for a product to attach to a gift box as a see through window. I want something that is transparent, can be cut with scissors or an exacto blade, is rigid but still bendable. Will this item in this thickness work?

Grafix Dura-Lar .005 (5 mil) will work great to make gift box windows. It is the perfect thickness for such an application. The .003 (3mil) is a bit too thin, .007 (7 mil) is fine as well, but .010 (10 mil) is overkill. Your choice between .005 and .007 is a personal preference, either is sufficiently durable as a box window. Dura-Lar is an excellent product. Good luck.

I think it would work great for that purpose. It is bright white and same color and texture on both sides. It's thicker than printer paper but easy to fold. I bought to wrap gifts with it folded around them nicely but ended up being able to see through if boxes were colored so that gives you idea of how thick it is. :) hope this helps

This is probably thicker than you'd like for shelf liner but it can be certainly used in that fashion. It is definitely easy to cut and I think it will maintain a smooth edge once it flattens.

Hello,We are also looking at these blinds and was wondering about cutting to size, good to know it worked for you, do you think a fabric sealant would make it more secure? I need three blinds and 3 different sizes.M. Bell

I have purchased this tape and it is not fully transparent.I would not use this tape for a few reasons: 1.)it is a very "heavy" tape 2.)if you take it off and the room is very humid,it will leave a gooey residue that you will need Goo-Off to remove.I would use Scotch (Magic) Transparent Tape. I know that it is 3/4" wide and may come in a 1 inch width and You may have to add strips to get to your card width and this tape is 100% Transparent......like Glass.

I agree with Mr Simmons... too thin. Unless you folded it, which you will unless your windows are huge... There is probably foam you can buy for this purpose

I don't think so. It is to transparent and stringy when you cut it. I wouldn't buy it again.

Yes. I bought one of these recently. It is completely clear, transparent like window glass. It has been very satisfactory.

I have used plexiglass (from local home improvement store...sometimes they will give you pieces leftover from a big cut for free) in place of the accordion thing. It is much prettier and gives you light. On one front window, I have even put Glad Press n seal wrap on the plexi to make it look "frosted" for privacy. I just use clear tape to hold it on and keep bugs out from the edges. Neither are very safe from break ins, btw. Just an idea if your accordion is too short or damaged.

The material is transparent, so you can see clearly through it, but it is essentially paper thin plastic and should provide no lensing effect. It will only change the color (and intensity) of the light passing through it. You could tape it to a window and see straight through it, but everything on the other side would look deep red and the light that came through the window would be deep red.

Thank you for your question. This material is too thick and not flexible for your project. You would be better with 4mil material which is thin and will cut with razor, but you may find since you have curves to cut looking at the gyro cutters they cut much easier than razor and produce cleaner curves. Hope this helps. Stencilease Customer Service.

This would not work.......you can see through it.....but the company may have thicker ones. Good luck. Hollyhocks

It's like frosted glass, maybe more like wet frosted glass. There won't be any that are clear like glass or it will effect the texture like cellophane. There is clear contact paper that is cheap and acts like lamination. If thin is ok there is industrial cling wrap. If it's for weather proofing I used this. I put a wood dowell taped to the end and on nice weekends I roll the plastic with the dowell and tie it to the top of the window. The rest of the Windows have the plastic taped all the way around for better insulation. It works just as well as double pane windows and allows loads of light through.

I actually ordered a size where it only required a very short amount of trimming after it was splined in our screen door but we just used a utility knife to trim it around the edges, but I'm sure scissors would work just fine. I'm pretty sure we did a window once and just used scissors to trim that piece.

It is a litttle stiff and doesnt really bend. It just sticks nicely to window. It covers ok but can be adjusted on the window.

Its thin plastic, but seems to be pretty sturdy. I don't think a pair of scissors would hold up. A box cutter might be able to score it enough to cut through. I just pushed the extra length under my desk.

No, this product is hard plastic and will not bend. Unfortunately, I am only a consumer not a representative for the company. I would suggest a custom glass shop in your area.
