1. A packaging device for coaxially aligning and securely retaining an elongated machining tool, the packaging device comprising a plug,
wherein the plug and a cap are configured to telescopically fit together,
wherein the plug and the cap mutually define an inner telescopically variable space for accommodating the elongated machining tool, the telescopically variable space has a telescopically adjustable length between the cap and the plug, and is tapering coaxially in opposite directions toward respective opposite ends of the packaging device between a first tapering end-wall constituting a member of the cap, and a second tapering end-wall constituting a member of the plug;
wherein the plug comprises a telescopic plug portion adapted to telescopically engage with a respective cap portion, and further comprises
(i) a cylindrical wall member extending away from the telescopic plug portion and opened on a first end towards the first tapering end-wall and on a second end, opposite to the first end, towards the second tapering end-wall;
(ii) an exterior wall segment having a circumferential noncircular contour extending between the telescopic plug portion and the cylindrical wall member and constituting a rotation-preventive wall segment configured to non-rotatably receive a tamper-evident band;
(iii) a threading protrusions formed on an outwardly facing surface of the cylindrical wall member;
(iv) a rotatable cork member constituting a separable member of the plug and comprising the second tapering end-wall, the rotatable cork member further comprises a counterpart threading protrusions formed on an inner wall-surface of the rotatable cork member and configured to engage with the threading protrusions on the outwardly facing surface of the cylindrical wall member, and a break-away tamper-evident band configured to overlappingly engage with a predetermined surface area of the rotation-preventive wall segment;
wherein the tamper-evident band is further being configured to break-apart from the rotatable cork member upon application of a predetermined angular offset from an initial position between a body of the rotatable cork member and the cylindrical wall member, with the tamper-evident band non-rotatably mounted on the rotation-preventive wall segment.
