The packaging

The DuOrbs box is simple and stylish, also allows clear view of the whole cooler.

The box shows not only the top of the cooler, as is the case with almost all coolers, but the base as well. I know it’s not an earth shattering innovation in packaging, but its definitely different. Everything is held in place and protected by a plastic clam shell.
