Awesome, I like how they did not bother to stick the seal or the corner logo on the box, just put them inside.

yep, and the wood, and the hinges, and the clasp, and the brand, and the stamp (lack of ), and the corners, and the stickers (forget that they aren't applied, they're not printed correctly), and the fonts & serifs used, and ...
