hassle free packaging

That would be an interesting design challenge to get all the 'pro’s of the plastic and eliminate any of the 'con’s of cardboard…

to me, it seems like the biggest ‘con’ would be competitive advantage on the shelf. I might find the plastic wrapped version where I can see the product more appealing and pick that over a carboard boxed design - even with graphics. The carboard version seems kind of a retro way to pack batteries, and not in an appealing retro way…
