Love to hear what your experience with the packaging was.  What happened?

I can definitely appreciate that criticism.  I was quite happy a few years ago when PC games started coming in the "half-size" boxes.  It was always so wasteful to get those big full-size boxes that only had a single CD/DVD and a small manual rattling around inside.  Hopefully we'll see more package efficiencies from packaged goods manufacturers in the future.  Glad to see you getting your voice heard!

Some of the plastic packaging is starting to offer perforated panels on the back, so instead of having to cut through dense layers of plastic (which often leaves sharp, jagged edges that slice up my hands) you can just pull the back open and get your stuff out.  My Logitech universal remote was packaged this way, and it was a relief.

 Hopefully more manufacturers will start employing this type of packaging.
