Packaging
[COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#000000]From first glance, you may think that there’s not much to say about the packaging, but you’d be wrong, as if you go back pre-2009, you would have seen Crucial memory come in an anti-static bag, which would have been nicely tucked away in a recyclable cardboard box with Crucial sticker acting as a security anti-tamper proof seal.[/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]Looking at the direction that Crucial are heading in now, you will see that the modules come in a slightly different packaging in the form of plastic clam shell style casing.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]The reasoning behind this is simple; as the ESD bags that were used before were non-recyclable and the new ESD-coated PET packaging is 100% recyclable, therefore giving Crucial the environmental edge over their competitors.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]You will find that along with the memory modules (encased in PET packaging) is a leaflet explaining the installation process, troubleshooting tips and technical support details, which is always handy for novice users and even the most expert users from time to time.

[COLOR=#000000]Once you have opened up the plastic packaging, you will notice that it acts as a security seal by breaking part of the plastic and creating two holes. This is a fantastic idea and is simply quite genius due to the minimal packaging, and will give users piece of mind when purchasing Crucial memory products.[/COLOR]
