I usually just save mine for New Year’s. Works out nicely since by then I’ve forgotten what I had, so it’s like a surprise show lol. But yeah, storing them properly is key – keep them in a cool dry place, not in a hot garage or shed. Had a batch lose some pop after sitting in a hot storage locker for a couple months.

Ammo can is actually a solid choice. I use a couple of military surplus .50 cal cans myself. Just make sure you crack them open every couple months to let any trapped moisture air out. I learned that one the hard way.

Those Brothers cakes are solid for the price. I picked up their “Red, White & Boom” assortment and was pleasantly surprised. The finale cake in that pack hits harder than you’d expect for a consumer item.

The holographic stuff is nice but I actually prefer when brands show real photos of the effects on the box. Had too many disappointments with generic packaging that didn’t match what came out. Show me what I’m buying!

in reply to: Shipping fireworks via ground freight – any carriers to avoid? #5483

We’ve had good luck with R+L Carriers for ground freight. They seem to understand hazmat protocol better than some of the bigger guys. FedEx Freight has been hit or miss for us.

in reply to: Custom box printing – small batch options? #5501

We use a local supplier here in Hunan for our custom boxes at Skysong and they do runs as low as 1000. Shipping might be expensive depending where you are but the per-unit cost is reasonable. Happy to share their contact info if you want to compare pricing. Also check out Packlane for digital short runs – not fireworks specific but they do decent work for smaller quantities.
