We have included this excellent quality lantern/ flashlight in our boxes for many years.  We lay them horizontally at the end of the box, and we are able to include a soccer ball, and pack them up with lots of other stuff.  Kids love to play with flashlights at night, and it is also a useful item for any family.  We upgraded the ABS material and had these packaged in a simple bubble wrap envelope so that they fit neatly and safely in a box and are ready for travel.  Although these come with a charging chord, they will fully recharge with the solar cells. The batteries are included and are NiMH , not Lithium.
