As the card itself is quite small, you would expect it to come in a box that would make the postman quiver, but no, Sapphire have been sane enough to provide it in a box that is perfectly suited.

The front of the box allows for a quick glance at the features of the card, including the fact that it has been supplied with 2GB of ram, but overall is pretty uncluttered.

The back of the box features specifications of the card as well as information regarding the GCN (Graphics Core Next) architecture the R7-260X is infused with.

Opening it all up, you get to see the box in all its glory, Sapphire use cardboard packaging that can be recycled.
