NoiseBlocker

The packaging does not stand out compared to regular products,we are accustomed to see when purchasing a fan:

On the back we can see the product's specifications and also in the bundle we have anti-vibration mounting “hardware”:

And of course the fans themselves, which as you can see have nice blue-purple color of the fins:

Akasa

At my first touch with this fan I thought the packaging is for 80/92mm fan. The somewhat compact package is just as large as to accommodate the fan without any extra space:

And here besides the fan itself we have a rubber mounting kit:

The fan definitely looks nice with its see through chassis and blue-purple color of its proppeler:

Gelid Wing

Definitely the packaging of this product looks like all expensive high end fans. Stylish color, windows to see the product and of course specifications. The box besides that look rather large:

And of course the large box must be justified by adding a decent bundle inside, namely a RPM controller, power cable for both fan and controller, which is quite large, Gelid sticker, double sided sticking tape with which to mount the controller in a comfortable for us position and of course rubber mounts and all of this is placed in a comfortable plastic casing:

And some pictures of the fan itself:

On the last shots you can see the specific form of the fins, which give the name of the fan – Wing. Besides that the clear front part makes impression, because there is no sticker on it:
