I have seen mixed cardboard and clear plastic packaging of products so tuff that one has to use metal cutters to open such as those sold in Costco. I think the packaging people can make it on the cheap given sufficient volume. Isn't just a folded cardboard in a box with some cards ? The little plastic houses and stuff, those can be made by some companies that recycle plastic.. typically made in USA.
