Tuniq Tower 120 - Introduction and Packaging

Introduction

Tuniq has built up quite a following with its Tower 120 cooler but there is more to the brand than meets the eye. The company is a subsidiary of Sunbeam Tech, a firm started up in Taiwan in 2000. Sunbeam began by only selling cold cathode lamps but expanded its range over time.

Setting up Tuniq as a subsidiary makes sense since it's got a strong brand image and slick looks that are some way distant from kit sold under the Sunbeam Tech brand.

With all that in mind, we couldn't help wondering whether the interest the Tuniq Tower 120 has created among enthusiasts was justified or whether the whole thing was the result of clever marketing.

Packaging

The packaging on the Tuniq 120 – which looks rather careworn in the image you see below - carries artistic shots of the cooler around a simple plastic window on the front. All the usual information is there, along with photos of the key features.



Opening the front flap reveals the cooler set in close-fitting foam, with all the mounting parts in slots around the outside. In one corner is a back-panel control-plate for on-the-fly fan-speed adjustment.
