Summary
A large empty cardboard box for a Cabbage Patch Kid. The front has a large plastic window in order to see inside. This is edged in green. At the bottom is a semi-circle with the name 'Cabbage Patch Kids' and the logo of a baby face inside the leaves of a cabbage. The ages of children the doll is intended for is at the bottom, with a slogan and a toy manufacturer name, 'Ideal', within an oval. The sides of the box repeat the logo, with instructions in how to care for the doll, the imaginary background to the dolls and colour illustrations. The bottom of the box, with a barcode, opens, as does the back which is plain cardboard. The inside has a green cardboard lining and pink plastic toys to hold the doll into place. The number '3P3030' is at the back.
