Texas Instruments is making big upgrades this year to their calculator packaging.
For the last decade or so, the packaging you have seen TI calculators in at the big box retailers are called blister packs. In the consumer goods industry, a blister pack is a piece of preformed plastic sandwiched between a piece of carded packaging.
Over the next several months, you will see less and less of the blister packs, and more of the... drum roll... folding cartons! These new folding cartons are rocking a new design that really pops! They're much more compact as well!
The packaging transition will be a running change. Stock of the traditional retail blister packs will be sold through before the new folding cartons are brought onto the shelves. There may be a point in time when some models are in the new packaging while other models remain in older packaging.
Below, we've made a rough list for the release dates of the new packaging. Please note that these dates are estimates, and some may be released sooner, and some may be released later.
We've listed out every single TI Calculator model that will have the new & updated packaging, and what the expected changes are. Please note that there may be some small variations. As more information is released overtime, we will continue to update this post, as well as add additional images for comparison.
