The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at the packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Letterman 6 from Radius makes a solid impression as soon as it is unpacked. It is delivered in a very sturdy cardboard box, which protects the product sufficiently from possible damage. However, the sustainability of the packaging has to be rated negatively due to the additional use of plastic film. The contents of the packaging are complete and include the letterbox, four spacers and a practical LED sensor light. The operating instructions are available in German and English. It is noticeable that all words, including the beginnings of sentences and nouns, are written in lower case, which seems a little unusual but does not impair comprehensibility.
