Gold bar packaging plays a key role in product integrity and value retention. Many bars come sealed directly from the mint, and any tampering or damage can affect the bar’s resale potential. Secure packaging also helps confirm authenticity.

Check for the following packaging features:

• Tamper-evident seals – These indicate if the product has been opened or altered.
• CertiCard or assay card – Many gold bars include these for confirming weight, purity, and serial number.
• Mint logos and holograms – Reputable refineries use special markings to protect against counterfeits.
• Clear labeling – All packaging should display weight, metal content, and refinery information.
• Condition of packaging – Avoid buying bars with cracked or poorly sealed packaging.

Well-preserved packaging adds confidence for both personal storage and future resale.
