A lot of thought and planning went into the packaging! The box is in the shape of a rectangular box with a square pyramid on top, and it's quite large - the base is ~4" square, and the box is ~15" tall. It's covered with dark green textured paper, and has a small (1.25" x 2.5") sterling silver label affixed to one side. After removing the top, inside the box we find a deep green velveteen pen wrap that protects the pen, and also has two additional slots. Spread out, the wrap is 12" wide and 7" tall with a foldover flap. There is also an informational booklet, which describes the town of Nazareth as sacred in both Christianity and Islam, and also contains some more details about the Nazareth 2000 collection. We also find a smaller box in the same shape as the outer box, containing a bottle of green ink; the ink bottle has another sterling silver label on it that's the same size as the outer label. Finally, there is another small bottle in the box, which at first glance appears to be more ink, but is actually filled with genuine soil from the town of Nazareth. This bottle is labeled as such, and the informational booklet has a reproduction of a letter from the mayor of Nazareth noting that soil sourced from the town was sent to Delta.
