two cheers for sandisk
Sunday, February 26th, 2006SanDisk used to have terrible packaging for their memory cards, but no longer. Now they use a small, simple cardboard box with a PET insert. Not perfect, but much better; no knives required!
Dear Mr SanDisk
Sunday, February 15th, 2004I just bought one of your SanDisk 256MB CF cards today. Now I’m a big guy, and of at least average strength, but how on earth are we supposed to open your packaging? Ultrasonically welded plastic is almost impossible to open. After several minutes of fighting with it, I ended up having to snip very carefully along the bottom edge, and shake the contents out.
Your packaging is also an environmental horror. The 43×36mm CF card comes in a snug little polypropylene (maybe, or perhaps HDPE) case — inside a double-layer 127×200mm PVC envelope. That’s an unnecessary amount of the worst plastic for the environment.
I do like your products, but if in future I can find an alternative with less irksome packaging, I shall use them instead.
