BQ51050B: EVM: Waste of packaging

Part Number: BQ51050B

The BA51050BEVM-764 measures 3" x 3" x 1.5", or about 14 cubic inches.

It is shipped in a box that is 7" x 10" x 2", or about 140 cubic inches. 

So 90% of the packaging is wasted space. This is a lot of wasted cardboard, and makes the box a pain to store.

Can your team please investigate smaller boxes? Like the MSP430 Launchpad boxes, for example. They enclose a similar sized board but are about a fourth the size. I have a ton of those and they're easy to store.
