The HolyDays beach towel was delivered in a box. This was closed with adhesive tape in a little uncoordinated manner, but this does not detract from security in any way. After opening, the HolyDays beach towel was wrapped in plastic in the box. After the beach towel was removed from the plastic film, a banderole was also "wrapped" around the towel. In our opinion, this would have been enough, but the beach towel is also protected from dirt, which justifies the plastic film to a certain extent. The product protection by the manufacturer was definitely given and the product was delivered in perfect condition.

Then the plastic film and banderole were removed and a neatly folded beach towel was ready for use. Unfortunately, there was no note or similar in the box with the manufacturer's contact information. However, this is relatively easy to find out in times of digitization. Another positive aspect was definitely that the towel could theoretically be used immediately after unpacking (unless you want to wash it again beforehand).
