I don't think that there is anyone at Zeiss that will personally guarantee that every lens that leaves their plant has plastic covering it.
When you open a Zeiss lens, yes, there is a final inspection card with a personal handwritten signature, detailing the quality inspection for that specific lens. Such an inspection would of course include the packaging of such a lens, in plastic.
All expensive Zeisses come with this note. After purchasing a couple of ZF lenses with said factory packaging, I can tell you that if my $4000 Otus didn't come with a plastic bag, I would be very circumspect indeed.
The plastic bag, imho, is actually worth about $2000... it signifies the culmination of a testing process that involves japanese and german engineers, and a tradition of excellence dating back many decades.
Naturally, this is a Zeiss fanboy speaking, I really don't expect anyone to understand except for other Zeiss fanboys.
