While the carton looks attractive, the headset looks stunning. The packaging designers at Soundmagic have intelligently used this to their advantage by using window-patching on the carton so that the customer can view the headset without having to open the package.

The construction of the carton with tuck top and lock bottom carton enables ease in opening and provides a reinforced base to withstand the weight of the product. 

Inside the carton, the headset is supported with a moulded foam tray that perfectly secures the product in the place and the use of foam provides cushioning effect against shocks.
