Packaging

Like with other Thermaltake Core P models, the Core P3 TG Pro comes flat-packed. This means that the case is broken down and the box is significantly smaller than what the built case size would be. This is huge in saving money when it comes to shipping and storage and is one big way you can keep prices down. It can also mean less manpower in putting it all together at the factory, but there is more packing so I don’t know that part saves anything. So the footprint of the box for the Core P3 TG Pro is thin but from the front, it is about the same size as the case. The box itself was cardboard brown with just black print for all of the branding on it. One side has a line drawing of the case with components inside. Up on the top edge, it has the Thermaltake logo and the Core P3 TG Pro model name is the largest font. The back side was the same only the line drawing of the case is changed up to a blown apart picture that shows all of the different components.

Inside everything is completely cocooned in Styrofoam with two pieces that have everything inside. They are also tapped up to keep everything together.

Once you take the tape off and pull the top of the Styrofoam off you find components of the Core P3 TG Pro as you dive in from layer to layer. The top has a bag with the instructions inside and then right below that is the tempered glass panel. This then has a thick cardboard layer directly under it to keep it from touching anything else. Below that is the main chassis which comes in a plastic bag covering it and another layer of cardboard under it as well. Then down in the bottom, they have each of the components bagged individually with each sitting in its own formed spot keeping everything from moving around.
