The Original Orange Box

Since the beginning, in our first productions for the automotive aftermarket, RIO packaging has featured orange as the predominant color. A strong, vibrant color that conveys values such as movement, drive to action, and energy.

RIO packaging includes QR Codes in its layout, giving you direct access to a technical video about the product, as well as an information sheet with application tips for the part you are purchasing.
