Packing

The HP-1216B comes packed in a nice looking box with a window that shows the fins and base of the cooler. The box also has the specifications of the cooler on the side.

Inside the cooler was packed in a clamshell. Our sample looks to have taken a hit in shipping. The packing did its job; the cooler looks to be fine. No bent fins or other visible damage.
