Strong and clean dislaying some general handling/storage wear & light creases but no major faults.
The corner bears some wear & there is a 4mm tear along the fold of the upper left corner only.
There is a rub along part of the rear lower edge (beneath the wording) and some small laminate scratches but no other significant signs of wear.
Trays

Still in-shape with some light creases to the flaps and rubbing to the edges & corners but no tears or other damage.
(The white line on the lower part of the right flap is a crease mark & not a tear).
