Glass vial (g) stopped with a cork that was sealed with plastic shrink wrap; vial is in packaging that consists of a cardboard box in two parts (a,b), inside of which is a cardboard sleeve (c) into which fits a sheet of cardboard (d) folded to form a divider; between the box and the sleeve is a sheet of cardboard (f) with a smaller piece of much thicker cardboard glued to one side; this is apparently to make space for a paper leaflet (e) between the box and the sleeve and to prevent it from falling out of reach in the box.
