I think it is effective for the purpose, which I am guessing is to display the part. It may not be too pretty but that is irrelevant for the most part.
Agree with Nero, although it isn't very eye-catching, and rather plain, it does serve it's purpose to give the buyer good idea of how the product looks.
Thanks for your views. If you search "rubber lined p clip" in on ebay (the uk site) do you think it catches your eye against the others on there?
