Sadowsky Strings Packaging

Sign in to disble this ad
i just got a pack of Sadowsky Stainless Steel strings from ebay, and what's the deal with the cheezy packaging?
the individual paper wrappers are plain white envelopes with "BASS STRINGS" in bold black letters.
that's it... no logo, no nothing. corny as heck.
the outside packaging design is normal (pic attached courtesy of the basstasters website)


was i the victim of the old "bait and switch?" (sadowsky package with cheapo no-name strings on the inside?)
or is Sadowsky skimping on Ink costs to invest in R&D?

I am a Sadowsky dealer. The individual paper wrappers have a big Sadowsky logo same as in the outside packaging.

Yes. Sorry for confusion, when I responded initially, my computer didn't display that image for some reason.
