Introduction
I would like to thank
GMC for supplying the review sample.
GMC started out as a distributor of various brands for the Korean market in 1996, from there the company expanded its portfolio and is now a standalone brand with cases and power supplies. They made a few waves with the R2-TOAST mid tower chassis, which was designed in a way to eject the CD tray upward within the front of the chassis. This is what the company has to say about itself:

It is GMC's mission to be the best provider of the state-of- the-art products in the global market.

Packaging
GMC ships the chassis in a full color cardboard box with a black backdrop. One corner has an image of peeling off, revealing the H-80 name of the enclosure along with a picture of the unit itself. Turning the packaging over, there are various close-ups to showcase all the H-80s unique features. The side holds another image of the case along with its specifications.
GMC secures the H-80 with fairly large Styrofoam spacers and further protects it with a thin plastic bag. Considering the chassis was shipped half way across the world, you can assume that yours will make it to you safe and sound as well.
