ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The first aid kit in accordance with DIN 13169 including additional filling from Werkstein arrived for our test in a typical shipping box. This was undamaged on arrival and could be easily opened by removing the adhesive strip. Inside, the case was wrapped in bubble wrap with protective film on the surface and the additional filling was packed in plastic film. This type of packaging ensured that the product was optimally protected from external influences and shipped hygienically. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the first aid kit and the filling were delivered in perfect condition .
The packaging is partially recyclable. However, the plastic film cannot be recycled . Nevertheless, the presentation of the product makes a very good impression.

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

In addition to the medical products, the first aid kit contains the fastening material for wall mounting, consisting of 4 screws and plugs each, as well as various emergency stickers. The additional filling and the filling of the case comply with the DIN 13169 standard. The wall mounting and instructions for first aid in the event of an accident are each described in a small booklet in German with pictures. The contact information can be found on the product box, the back of the case and on the plastic film of the refill pack. The expiry date of the sterile products is also stated. However, there is no customer hotline or email address. Nevertheless, this is a very good way to send a product.
