At the face of the small box is a photo of the PSU with the modular panel exposed. As per usual, more information is available on the back.
Protection inside the box is good, with packing foam surrounding the product. As a cost-saving measure, Gigabyte has excluded the pouch for the modular cables.
The bundle includes the modular cables and AC power cord, set of fixing bolts, and user manual.
The exterior design is identical to that of the 850 W unit.
The power specifications label covers the bottom almost entirely.
The modular board has ten sockets. A note here mentions that you should only use the original cables. Many people think that modular cables are electrically compatible with all PSUs, which is false. While connector sizes on the load side are standardized, those on the PSU are not, so make sure not to mix modular cables.
At only 140 mm long, this PSU is compact.
Here are some more photos of the PSU from various angles.

The ATX cable is longer than the EPS ones, which caught my attention in the review of the 850 W unit as well. I want both EPS cables to be 650 mm long. The number of available connectors is satisfactory, but the PSU lacks a 12+4 pin PCIe connector, which will replace the current PCIe connector in the future.
The number of peripheral connectors is adequate, but there is no need for a floppy connector. Moreover, the distance between peripheral connectors is only 115 mm.
The PSU came with a US power cord.
