That's how all the packages I get look after the Post Office gets through with them.
If that company wants to make something worthwhile, how about stickers that say: "Fragile, please throw underhand"
Well, David, it depends on how sturdy that stuff is. Wrapping paper's not that great, since it's designed to be torn into (by children, who usually have weak arms).
How well does it keep its shape, I wonder? Is the material it's made from as durable as a standard box?
One problem I can see is the non-tessellability of the parcel itself. And if you're looking to ship an awkwardly-shaped parcel, usually just placing it in a larger box and filling it with recycable filler to stop it moving about.
Hm. Let me try and think of situations this would be more useful than a parcel envelope or box.
Actually, further problems; it's not reusable like a cardboard box is (unless you have an item to send that's exactly the same size and shape). It's apparently perforated, which further reduces the structural lifetime of the stuff.
For once I agree with you, David, this stuff is naff.
Oh, goody. They've developed yet another way of trying to create non-cubicform masses to "fit" into cubicform containers (trucks, freight cars, airplanes, etc.).
These people need to be given a set of children's wooden letter blocks and an instruction manual. (Written for under-fives.)
