The worst are those rigid plastic moulded containers that have been heat-
sealed. You get things like strimmer reels in them. They're a menace to
open (you need a sharp knife, and hope it doesn't slip). They leave
lethally sharp edges (you could cut a throat with one), and they refuse
to be reduced in size.

I know the ones you mean - it's cheap and easy to pack, and a pain to undo.

I remember a friend complaining she'd bought a special tool to open those - which came packed in...you've guessed it!

Hope she didn't buy a pair of special scissors to hack her way
in, which were themselves fixed to a backing card with stout
cable ties. ;-)
