I'm not a treehugger by any means, but I think it's cool that D'Addario adopted enviro-friendly packaging several years back. </P><P>If that's Ernie Ball's motivation too, good on them!Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:10:19 GMTsirshackletonRE: Are Ernie Ball coppying D'Addario with new packaginghttp://www.daddario.com/Discuss/Topic34392-10-1.aspxI found out that they're not using color-coded ball ends; the strings will still be in individual sleeves, just in an overall outer foil packet... with a hologram to stop forgeries! :w00t:Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:42:59 GMTmarsguitarsRE: Are Ernie Ball coppying D'Addario with new packaginghttp://www.daddario.com/Discuss/Topic34392-10-1.aspxthanks for up date ,me i;m a ball strings fan from way back.......:w00t:sorry should of not said that:w00t::hehe:lp57Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:16:53 GMTlespaul57Are Ernie Ball coppying D'Addario with new packaginghttp://www.daddario.com/Discuss/Topic34392-10-1.aspxI see that Ernie Ball are changing their packaging after 45 years... changing to foil packs...</P><P><EM>Ernie Ball's modernized packaging methods ensure that your new string sets sound factory-fresh from the moment you open the package - and will retain their just-opened tone and appeal for even longer than before.</EM> </P><P>Is this similar to the D'Addario packs? I wonder whether they'll be color-coding ball ends too :)Mon, 28 Jan 2008 06:23:01 GMTmarsguitars
