Plastic packaging
You know the stuff I mean? The solid plastic that you need a sharp knife to get through. You rip it open more, exposing lethally sharp edges that can put your eye out. The whole nasty thing struggles to the end before your lovely new purchase is freed from its' plastic prison. The hacked up packaging is now useless should you need to return the product. If you don't need to reuse it then you are left with the problem of disposing of it. I'm sure landfills would take up less space if they weren't full of indestructible plastic packaging too.

Dear Christ.
The first monthly shop we got delivered featured razor blades for my Mach 3 that were still in the plastic non-theft box thing (somehow).

I ended up needing to take a bloody hacksaw to it to open it.

Grrrrrrrr.

You should've taken it to your local supermarket.
I'm sure they'd have taken it off for you.

But if he'd tried that, they'd have found out who nicked them

Unfortunately for you, completely rational.
They are the devil's own packaging, particularly when used to pack things with a cutting edge such as scissors, stanley knives and, as above, razor blades because that is just rubbing salt into the wound isn't it? Hatred for this shit spawn plastic monstrosity is entirely logical, reasonable and understandable. Who benefits from this stuff, really, who? Is it cheaper than cardboard and glue, is it faster to press than a bag? Aaaaaarrrggghhhhhhh
