The biggest problem I have is with compact fluorescents; trying to cut the plastic without harming the bulbs is a pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-39624448969049177362010-11-19T14:30:00.846-05:002010-11-19T14:30:00.846-05:00Well, you know my thoughts on this type of packagi...Well, you know my thoughts on this type of packaging. Every computer accessory on the planet either comes with a diabolical, impossible to open wrapping or comes in a box 27 times larger than the original item's size.<br /><br />We have a pair of garden shears that got slightly broken about 2 years ago. (they don't make a perfect cut anymore so it is really hard to prune tree branches and bushes) BUT, it is ONE HECK of a plastic package opener. <br /><br />It sits on my desk in its new job capacity as PDAG (packaging destroyer and gouger) and does a wonderful job.<br /><br />I bought a portable cd player for a road trip very recently and wanted to test it before leaving the store parking lot. So, I sat in my car and it took more than 5 minutes to get the package opened. All I had was my car keys, a pen and my bare hands. It was absolutely ridiculous!Herman Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223434106574870037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-88639022228201994082010-11-19T04:01:29.551-05:002010-11-19T04:01:29.551-05:00Bought a Philips phone a while ago, and was impres...Bought a Philips phone a while ago, and was impressed that the packaging was not only easy to remove, it was all recyclable.<br />Perhaps there's some EU regs about this?Belladonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397220727549073962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914238121679939863.post-53338479144823748462010-11-17T15:28:16.872-05:002010-11-17T15:28:16.872-05:00Geez.

I think that if you are in danger of BREAKING the object of desire while trying to wrestle it out of the plastic deathtrap, it's bad design.<br /><br />I'm not sure what one could possibly do about it. I'm also sure there is a seemingly reasonable explanation for this kind of packaging that makes no sense whatsoever to people like you and me. <br /><br />Guess what my husband gave me for my birthday! It was supersafely packaged but very easily to unpack. In fact, a five-year-old did it...ExpatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978064704311634736noreply@blogger.com
