Never being able to get into the packaging of CD or DVD cases

Quot Consumer Affairs specialist,Harvey Drayne, points out that the fun-factor involved in getting into a CD ,  DVD or computer game often far outweighs the enjoyment of the product itself. ” It offers the thrill of a challenge , the test of dexterity and ingenuity and the eventual sense of triumph of a success achieved  all of which surpass the  satisfaction of mere passive entertainment. And what it does for the development of hand-to-eye coordination in the young cannot be underestimated. The outer cellophane wrapping of CD cases is not even the half of it – a mere teaser for the more daunting challenge of penetrating the packaging of new electronic components, household utensils, tools and bathroom fittings , in fact  pretty well everything from greeting cards to  sandwiches.

The old complaint that products are getting harder to get into has never been more popular and with its use of heavy-duty tungsten/ perspex sealing alloys  the packaging industry is merely responding to market forces.
