Because matchsticks are small natural wood products, slight imperfections can occur. The extra pieces are added so you still receive the quantity you ordered with confidence.

How to Use Loose Safety Matches

Strike the match head firmly against a compatible safety-match striker surface. Hold the match away from your body and allow the flame to stabilize before lighting your candle or other item.

Storage and Safety

  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep away from moisture, heat, and open flames.

Don’t Forget a Match Striker

Loose matchsticks require a striker surface to light. Add match striker sheets or stickers to complete your setup for refills, match bottles, jars, packaging, and DIY projects.
