Packaging and contents
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 guaranteed.

The Heimlich® A3/A4 picture frame makes a good impression as soon as it is unpacked. The packaging is practical and protective , so that the product arrives undamaged and free from scratches or soiling. Particularly noteworthy is the use of corner protectors, which minimize the risk of transport damage.
However, it would be desirable if the packaging paid even more attention to sustainability. The use of plastic film, which protects the product from scratches, could be replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives to improve the ecological balance.
The scope of delivery clearly focuses on the essentials: The picture frame itself. Although there is no instruction manual, mounting it on the wall is self-explanatory and uncomplicated thanks to the intuitive twist clips.
