This product was delivered in a cardboard mailing bag that was well-suited to the size of the product.
Inside the envelope were two packs of attractant strips, packed in a flat, rectangular cardboard slipcase.
The attractant strips are packaged in plastic film; it would be desirable for the seller to check whether there is a more environmentally friendly packaging alternative.
On a positive note, the fact that there are preparation tips and short step-by-step instructions on the back of the product should be emphasised to ensure uncomplicated use.

In general, the product makes a professional first impression. The packaging looks high-quality at first glance.
The design of the food film is designed in such a way that it does not stand out too much in the kitchen and is modern at the same time. The white top of the lure strip is printed with small black graphics of storage jars.
The lure strip is stable enough to be placed lengthways or crossways as required without bending.
With regard to the sustainability of the product, it should be noted that it is a disposable product. It can be used for a period of up to three months for moth control, but must then be disposed of.
The overall package has a high-quality and appealing appearance when you pick it up for the first time.

Due to the absence of toxic substances , there is also no danger to humans or animals when the trap is set up .

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation .
Prices of up to €12.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €7.99 . The KRAFTKÖNIG food moth trap is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €9.97. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
