Xigmatek ships the Achilles S1284 in a combination plastic/cardboard case.
The packaging allows you to view some of the main heatsink features, including the uncommon base consisting of lapped heatpipes that directly contact the CPU's integrated heatspreader (IHS).
We feel it necessary to criticise the packaging, as it is
somewhat fiddly to re-install the heatsink back into it
