I ordered two of these in the last week, both arrived in a box, folded in half, with several creases. I have since returned both posters and am currently looking for a replacement.

If I remember correctly, it comes rolled up in a tube. It's laminated, so no problems with creasing. Mine came in perfect condition no problem

I had no trouble with the packaging for my chart. It came rolled and is perfect!

Mine wasn't wrinkled or did not have an uneven surface. It was folded when in came. But when I unfolded it the crease came out immediately. Might be a good idea to check with the seller.

If you mean not dented, probably not! I have ordered 3 of them , from 2 different stores on amazon, and they are all three slightly dented. Everything else was fine,quite delicious, but all dented. I wonder if they mail the dented ones and keep the nice ones for the store shelves??

I purchased this poster this week. The typos (at least on the unframed version) have been fixed.

I also received my packing paper folded just as the picture shows then shrink wrapped in a green plastic wrap. Each bundle is pretty heavy and I order a couple at a time. I've ordered a half dozen times from this vendor- the last time being in March 2015 (I use this paper to line my animal cages) and the paper has always arrived shrink wrapped. I previously ordered this kind of packing paper from another vendor and the paper was wrapped in brown wrap and secured with strapping. Never received in a box so far.

Yes, the package looks exactly like those I used to buy from Office Max...my order was: "sold by SkyMall1116, fulfilled by Amazon." Have had no problems with their packages or cartridges and have been buying from them for at least a year now. If from another place, can't vouch for them. Packages always arrived in good condition, but I usually ordered other things so Amazon shipping put them all in one larger, sturdier box.

I purchased this several years ago but If I recall correctly there was plenty of Styrofoam and thin foam sheets separating the individual pieces inside the box. It ships in its retail box which is made of heavy duty cardboard and I believe it was held shut by plastic straps and/or large metal staples. I will tell you the box looked really beat up upon arrival but it was also obvious it did what it should have done and kept my stand pieces undamaged and scratch free. UPS shipped this particular item to me. It is rather easy to inspect out of the box as there are only a few large pieces to assemble. Final advice.. don't get discouraged if the box looks bad when it shows up but yes it is packaged well I purchased this several years ago but If I recall correctly there was plenty of Styrofoam and thin foam sheets separating the individual pieces inside the box.

I only bought one board so I have nothing to compare the packaging to, as to whether there had been changes or not. The packaging I received was very effective so I noticed no area where change was needed.

The poster i recieved was rolled up in a cardboard tube and had a paper-like cardboard material to protect it. So, it was rolled up, yes. :) hope i helped!

If the poster is bent, I am sure it will leave a permanent crease in the picture which will damage it. So, yes, it will damage it.

I think they mean the picture on the package may be different from time to time. Last time I received multiple boxes and they all looked the same. I remember the old box had more of a blue background rather than a green background and the photo looks different. I have been ordering these on Amazon for over a year and they always come in the same size and shape light weight cardboard box.

Thank you for your message. Due to the large size of the item, it is very difficult to find any cheap frames at, say, a big box store. I would imagine that the greatest part of the quote from a custom framing place involves the glass or plexi-glass component. I have had no reports from any of our recent customers who have attempted to get the poster framed, so I am not able to offer much advice. All I can suggest is that you do a search online. If you enter a keyword such as "poster frame" and search the available dimensions you may luck out and find something in your price range. Keep in mind also that, when dealing with such a large item, you should always wait to frame it until after you have received it and have had an opportunity to take your own exact measurements. The dimensions can be slightly off from what is stated on Amazon. This way, you will know exactly the size you are dealing with and be able to get a frame that will fit the item properly. One other suggestion that may serve your purposes and your budget: Some places (like Kinkos, for example) may offer lamination services. Laminating the poster should be, I should think, MUCH cheaper than framing and still provide a means to protect the poster from damage for several years. The only drawback obviously is that the lamination does not come off if you should ever need the poster in its original state. However, with the lamination, you can still roll the poster up for storage and moving purposes and easily rehang it. Please let me know if I can answer any further questions. Thanks Matt Bananaroad

I purchased this some time ago and did not record or notice the product number. When I first started using this paper - and I can't remember where I bought it, had a coarse back and appeared heavier. My orders from Amazon, or my most recent purchases from Office Depot have a smooth back and have a product number, CR667A. The emulsion side seems the same in terms of the results I get. Also, my original purchase of the heavier paper was from a manufacturer for HP in Switzerland, whereas packages purchased since then have been from Germany. This info is found on the back of the package, lower left corner. The bridal cover picture on the front of my latest purchase is exactly the same as the one I see here - however, I also note that my paper is 80lb and the one here is 75lb. The ad I see on Amazon "does" indicate the number to be Q5450A, so if it arrives as another number, just send it back. BTW, on my last purchase, Office Depot was giving the second box free. If purchase that way, you get two for the price of one, plus you can look at the product number and such.

I will check tomorrow. I'm not sure if there is one. I can see that some are newer with foil packets and some are older with paper wrappers, but all are in nice condition. I had a lot of trouble with this seller and had to file a claim before he finally sent my order, so I hope you have better luck.

I don't know if there have been changes made to the packaging? I bought our dry erase board and we put it together easily.

Hi Cassy,They must have changed the packaging because it is different from the one I purchased.
