IF you are going to put it on the shelf to sell it is in a retail package, nice looking!

Hi! Retail packaging is the kind of packaging you are going to find if you go into a store and buy a product. When someone on-line says "retail packaging," you can be quite sure it's the real deal and not some knock-off product posing as the real deal. Buying ink on-line can be a tricky business because so many vendors deal in third party manufactures--people who make the ink to fit certain printers. If they say "retail packaging" and show you a picture, you can be quite sure it's what is sold in the stores.

Mine came in retail box. Black top. It is a nice package and something you could wrap.

It is original Adobe packaging, but it's only CD sized. It's the mail order packaging, not the anti-shoplift retail store box.

Contents packaged It means the contents of the package you purchase are packaged for retail sale individually, like you buy a box of 500 DVD and they are separated into 25 Pk sections that are packaged to sell alone as a retail package. It can also mean that the item is packaged for retail sale, like you buy a memory chip and instead of coming in a anti static package it comes in a plastic box with paper work, warranty and such (Retail Packaging) Sources: own In computer terminology "Retail Package" is a fully boxed item with full color retail markings & descriptions, and full documentation inside.. intended for a retail store to put on display on its shelves...As opposed to "OEM" or "white box", which is an unmarked generic box with the same product, may or may not have instructions inside, but geared towards computer system builders and technicians. In food stores, bulk items like candy, chips, etc may come in Bulk packaged cardboard boxes.. some of which are designed to be cut open and folded in such a way as to create a store display. Each item inside is marked for Individual Resale (have bar codes and nutritional information panel)...As opposed to Multi-packs with individual items marked "Not for Resale, Sold as part of a Multipack".. this means the little packs don't have full nutritional info panels and/or bar codes. So, Amazon's "Retail Package" should refer to the same thing...full color retail packaging with bar codes, nutritional info if applicable, along with full retail documentation and instructions inside.

Bulk packaging refers to an item being shipped in a nondescriptive box unlike the retail version. It still comes with everything you need.

The box you see here is the box that I received these ink cartridges in. As far as it being a Retail Package Box, I can't respond to it being so. It is definitely the product that I needed and was sent.

the business comes in a brown box. the retail comes in the pretty high gloss packaging you would see at a resale location i.e. target/bestbuy. due to the reduced packaging and other small feature adjustments, the price is typically less for the business.

Frustration free packaging means you do not break nails or the product nor do you have to search for heavy duty tools or an assortment of various neighbors to help remove the product from it's protective wrap. I would guess that retail packaging is the opposite of the frustration free. The kind that has been popping up more often which is nearly impossible to open, but the product stays intact for shipping and can be considerably lighter in weight. I would also guess that standard packaging is what consumers have been accustomed to over the years. Easy to open, but doesn't hold up anywhere nearly as well and more subject to the product being damaged. perhaps others have differing opinions.

SHOULD be exact same card as new, retail packaging. Bulk means the package will not be decorated, anti-theft, etc. The retail packaging is over-sized and blinged up for display in a store. Whereas bulk is plain, minimalistic, the minimum necessary to ship the product. (this is a general comment on bulk packaging, it varies... I haven't received this particular product yet.)

Hi, Retail packaging usually means unused and new, in the box from the retailer. Just as if you went to your local store to purchase it. Non-Retail is without the box or outer packaging. In this case, there was a ESD bag that was cut open to put the items into the bag, then folded over and sealed with a piece of tape. The bag contained the Motorola Elite HZ770 Sliver II headset, the charging case & the A/C cord (To charge the unit). Also, non-retail packaging usually does not include other stuff like manuals and other things that can be downloaded by the buyer, after the purchase.

Non retail packaging is anything that's not professionally rapped in the factory where it is sent after production.

Bulk packaging means that the package will not be decorated, anti-theft, the minimum necessary to ship the product, etc. Retail packaging is decorated "in-store" packaging, the way you would see it in a store. Frustration free packaging features items in recycled boxes that are easy to open unlike hard plastic clamshell castings, wire ties, etc.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by retail packaging... My order came in a shipping box with air pillows as padding. Each bottle (I ordered different sizes) came as pictured, with only a label that was easily peeled off.

I did not say anything about retail packaging. It was new but the sound was very very low.

It was shipped in the retail packaging, not inside another box. The back of the box is just plain cardboard but the front has a big picture of the product on it.
