Lamy Box

[Calabria]

Just a short note about the Lamy 2000 box. I am so in love with the recycled cardboard!!! That's how all pens should come - it's industrial and durable and reminds me of a good notebook. I really hate the tacky pleather boxes that other pens come in and that I have to throw out anyway and that only ostentatiously justify the high price

Frankly, I like the more fancy boxes. I was in love with the box my Visconti HS Crystal came in. Really heavy and amazing looking. Having said that, there's something extremely charming about the 2000 box. Classic Lamy design and goes so well with the design of the pen (which I consider to be the best design ever in a pen).

I like it too. As once you have had one fancy box, you have had all of them. They just normally end up gathering dust on a shelf.

I like the plain boxes most. I never like to pay for packaging. The Lamy 2000 box was a really nice box, and I liked the way it opened.

Nothing recycled on my 2000 box

Is that a vintage box?

Anyway, I like the box to remind me that this is a writing instrument.

Last weekend I was at my fav local pen shop in Toronto and there was a lady going on about how the Al-Star box was too plain. The propreitor said it best that Lamy is a functional no-nonsense brand and the packaging is built along the same lines. I don't need a silly box to be over the top on a mid grade pen - I just want the pen to be good...

My sentiments exactly! That said I do find that the cardboard box the Safari & ALStars come in rather handsome. Functional, but not neglected of good looks either.

Love their boxes. Marlen offers a wonderful ecofriendly box with their Aleph model.
