  • What does 2/1, 4/1, 24/40/16, 24/12/16 mean?

    We sell all of our fireworks by the case. The number under the product name shows how a case is packed. For example, GM101 Porkinator shows 4/1. This means that there are 4 identical units in a case. RL101 Black Box Artillery Shell is packed 12/6. This means there are 12 boxes, each with 6 artillery shells.
