A black cardboard sleeve printed with crayons in the colors of the product. White text reads, “Mary Quant Crayons,” above the trade mark Mary Quant Daisy. The back of the box contains descriptions of the products in multiple languages. The English language description reads, “Quant Crayons / 10 incredible sticks of colour. To make eyes ‘colour crazy’ or just plain and pretty. Colour lips, or shape face. In fact anywhere you want colour, Crayons are so simple to use, just pick your colour and stroke it on. Texture’s not like ordinary crayons, it’s been made specially soft for skin. Use the colours straight or mix a little, you’ll love the results. Crayons were never like this before.” Inside the sleeve is a yellow tin printed with a black trade mark Mary Quant Daisy. The back of the tin reads, “Mary Quant Cosmetics Ltd, Chelsea London England Made in England.” The tin opens on a hinge and the crayons are securely inside held by foam.
