a base box comprising a first side panel;

a lid comprising a second side panel parallel to the first side panel; and

a tamper-evident seal disposed between the first and second side panels when the base box and lid are in a closed configuration, adhered to an inner side of the second side panel and not adhered to the first side panel, the tamper-evident seal comprising:

a paper substrate comprising:

a label surface visible when the packaging is in a closed configuration and disposed flat against the base box, wherein the label surface is adhered to a bottom panel of the base box perpendicular to the first and second side panels; and
