The product was delivered in an Amazon box with the company logo . The outer box was undamaged and could be easily opened without additional tools. Inside was a small product box with a company label showing the product name and company logo. The box offered enough space for the rolled-up solar cable and the instructions for use.
A particularly positive aspect is that no plastic packaging was used at all , which is highly commendable in terms of environmental friendliness. The solar cable was secured with rubber bands and was in very good condition.
