The beanbag is delivered in a simple, sturdy cardboard box that also serves as the shipping packaging. No additional plastic packaging or protective film is used, giving the packaging an eco-friendly impression . The beanbag was neatly packed for the test and arrived safely and undamaged. There are no additional protective elements or cushioning materials inside the box. However, given the bean bag’s size and soft texture, this was not a negative factor in the test. The box provided sufficient protection during transport. A printed user manual was not included. This is not a drawback, however, since the bean bag is delivered fully inflated and is ready for immediate use without any assembly. Its use is self-explanatory, so additional explanations or assembly instructions are not necessary.
Overall, the packaging is practical and functional. The complete absence of plastic and the safe transport of the product are positive aspects.
