  • The box is sealed with tape, glue or staples.
  • The box has clear markings indicating which side is the top.
• The product must not contain hazardous materials.
• Each sellable unit must be able to pass a drop test consisting of the following: Items will be dropped three successive times from a height of 125 cm onto a concrete surface, once on the top, once on the corner and once on either the side or the bottom. A single item must survive a single test (three drops). If the container does not leak, it passes the test. Damage to the container is acceptable.

A good example of a non-breakable and double-sealed container of less than 1 litre.
