What the Ledger Packaging Seal Tells You | Box, Device State, and Next Step: practical reference notes for this topic (scope-specific to id=200302).
The Ledger packaging seal is best treated as the first arrival record. It can tell you whether the box condition is consistent with the handover, but it should not carry the whole authenticity decision by itself. A better review connects the seal, the accessory list, Ledger Wallet state, the Ledger device screen, and a short local note. (id=200302 scope-specific note for "What the Ledger Packaging Seal")
The seal is a starting record, not the whole check
Begin with what can be observed without powering through the whole setup: outer box condition, seal alignment, accessory placement, and whether the device appears ready for a normal first-use process. Write these points down in plain language. The value of the seal is that it gives a starting record for the arrival state. (id=200302 scope-specific note for "What the Ledger Packaging Seal")
For a wider physical review, compare your notes with the Ledger unboxing inspection flow. That flow keeps box, accessories, device appearance, and first-use state in separate steps. (id=200302 scope-specific note for "What the Ledger Packaging Seal")
Read the box, accessories, and device state together
The box and accessories provide context, while the device state tells you what happens when the setup path begins. Avoid treating a single mark, folded insert, or packaging difference as the full conclusion. Instead, ask whether the accessory list is complete, whether the device starts in an expected state, and whether Ledger Wallet later shows a coherent connection path.

If the box was opened before you reviewed it, the opened-box verification guide explains how to continue the review without losing the sequence. (id=200302 scope-specific note for "What the Ledger Packaging Seal")
Use Ledger Wallet before drawing a conclusion
Once the physical review is recorded, move to Ledger Wallet from a fixed entry and check the device through the app path. Packaging observations and app-state observations serve different jobs. The first records arrival context; the second checks the connected device workflow. If a Genuine Check step is needed, use the Genuine Check workflow after the app and device are ready.

Record packaging notes without exposing private details
The final note should include box condition, seal observation, accessory list, app state, device-screen state, and the next action. It should not include recovery words, PIN details, or photos of private backup material. If you need to repeat the review, change one condition at a time, such as cable, app restart, platform, or entry path. That keeps the packaging seal in its proper role: an arrival record that supports the rest of the device check. (id=200302 scope-specific note for "What the Ledger Packaging Seal")
