They are packed in a plastic ball that measures approximately 4” in diameter; it is considered packaging for tariff purposes. The ponytail holder, which has a decorative plastic flower, and the elastics are constructed of a cord with an elastic core covered with knit textile fabric.

The samples will be returned as requested.
