Problems solved by technology

For example, while large wood safety matches and household lighters can be used to effectively light such packages, smaller flames, such as those derived from typical cardboard matchbook matches are more of a challenge.
However, the bag still has difficultly lighting and the compounds used in typical manufacture have a characteristic and unpleasant order.

The fabric serves as decorative packaging, but is also combustible without the environmental impact of common paper wrappings used for conventional manufactured fire logs.

In addition, they are decorative, attractive, and ecologically friendly. Other fabrics can...
