What's the difference between standard packaging and frustation-free packaging?

My sets came in the straight packing box with dividers instead of the fancy box in the packing box.Kind like bulk buying. I think that is what it means "frustration-free" packaging.

Hi Audrey, With standard packaging, the product comes in a printed paperboard case, (as shown in the picture), with a thin partition between the jars, which is then shrink-wrapped.With frustration-free packaging, (my preference, when available), the product comes in a cardboard box with a much thicker partition surrounding the inside of the box as well as separating the jars.

Frustration-free packaging does not refer to the item; it is the ease in which the shipping container for any product can be opened.

Frustration Free Packaging (FFP) is recyclable packaging that is designed for the specific product and tested for durability. I use it any time that it's available! Here's a link with more info:

i wish i had read this earlier. it looks like the frustration-free packaging comes with two brush heads while the retail packaging only comes with one. i would have gotten the frustration-free packaging if i had known that.

If memory serves, "Frustration-free" packaging is packaging that is easier to open. Sometimes, more than likely, frustration-free packaging will take longer to ship than standard packaging.

The distinction is not made on any of the packaging. I would contact the company directly to know for sure.

This may be a question for Amazon. I believe the FFP (I haven't seen FFB) stands for Frustration-Free Packaging. You can see this FFP on all kinds of products on Amazon.com

Standard packaging is the thick, secured plastic packaging you may find at a local store. It's the packaging you have to use some super scissors or a razor blade to cut through...and hopefully not slicing your finger. Hence, the frustration-free packaging which is a cheaper packaging. If you owned a store front, you may want to get the standard packaging to minimize people stealing your product...however, if you are like me who is just buying the product...it's a nice alternative that reduces your cost of the exact same product.

Standard may be more difficult to open frustration -free is simple but protective

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.

No idea. I didn't keep the packaging. Generally, if something is inexpensive, I just don't keep records on it.

No idea! I've never tried the "frustration free" - it may refer to a good package that it doesn't break?! :)...

There is no difference in addition to the packing.the Frustration-Free Packaging is more firmer than the other.

From my experience, motherboard boxes usually are not shrink wrapped. Mostly you just have to take their word for it.

There is a little teeny tiny itsy bitsy place to click on next to the ships and sold from Amazon.com that explains frustration free packaging. This was not a choice when I bought this product, but it was just the original box of the products inside a slightly bigger box, just so they could slap a shipping label on it. Just as easy for this product.

I'm not super positive.... I got the standard and it came in retail packaging so I think the frustrations free might come shipped out of the original plastic box.

I assume Frustration Free means it is the actual box of the item, it is not placed in a larger box, that's how mine was delivered.
