Even I could purchase a fake adapter and print a label that is an exact copy of a legitimate label and sell it. You will find nothing on a label or box that will be able to prove legitimacy. With the counterfeit market for Apple devices/accessories being so huge, it would make no sense to purchase from any third party location. That would be a risky move, and you would have to be comfortable with the fact that your purchase may be fake.

If it was purchased from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller, then it is legit. If purchased from a third party, then you just won't know and there is no test, serial number check, or package comparison that will be able to show that it is an authentic Apple product.
