serial number and barcode printed on package instead of sticker

I ordered airpod pros 2nd generation from amazon. i’ve done a lot of research and they work perfectly like they should. the quality is good, the serial number matches, the firmware is up to date etc. even the packing is good except for one thing. the serial number and barcode on my package is printed directly on the package rather than on a sticker. is this normal? does this mean mine are fake?

Serial number info printed on the box, not on stickers Hello! I bought new AirPods Pro 2. It has similar serial number inside the case and on the box. But!! The information about serial number, upc and other basic information printer right on the box, not on stickers. I’m afraid the shop sells fake..

is serial number of airpods pro 2 is directly engraved to its packaging box I noticed some new AirPods Pro 2 boxes have came without stickers that have all the info printed on it. Now a days it seems like they are coming with the serial number and all that jazz printed directly on the box. Is it legit?

Airpods Pro 2 box does not have CSA logo I recently bought 2 airpods Pro 2's from Costco as they were on a pretty sweet deal. However, after comparing the two boxes that were given to me they looked exactly the same except one box has the "CSA Energy Verified Only" logo printed above the serial number, while the other box does not. I checked both serial numbers on Apple's coverage checker site, and both popped up as Airpods Pro 2 and both were unactivated. However, I am just skeptical as the boxes differ with the CSA logo. Could Costco have possibly sold me a fake pair of airpods Pro 2? Or is the discrepancy between the printings on the two boxes negligible?
