how where the 70's and 80's small sets sealed
« on: May 17, 2011, 02:30:34 »
from pevious discusions on playmofriends no one knows the answer how the old small sets where sealed before being glued...
 i was surfing on google and accidently i found this pic :
 


 

so i believe the small sets were sealed as the big ones whith shrinkwrapping ,although i've never seen a small set shrinkwraped on ebay only once the red 70's carriage  what do you think? other opinions about it?

well... I don't understand this very well.... but the boxes CAN'T be sealed before glueing them. And what would be the point of it?  :hmm:

On the other hand I have never seen a small box sealed in plastic. I thought only big boxes were.

I don't remember the small boxes ever being shrink-wrapped in the UK.

The contents were sealed in plastic bags inside the box but the boxes could be opened if you wished.

Hope that helps,

ahhh gaston the 70's and early 80's sets were closing as a folder and you could open and close the box again...(that's why i ask how they were sealed  ;)  after mid 80's they started using glue
 


hope the picture helps (i coulden't find a better one that shows how the box opens  :-\

ooh ok now I understand what you meant...here they were closed with transparent tape. You couldn't take the contents without braking the tape or the box.

 i've seen boxes with tapes but i think people added them after because not all boxes have tapes on them...
