radially inner surface 27 disposed around a cylindrical cardboard collar 28 and connected thereto either by friction as a result of tightness of the wrapping process or by adhesive and a radially outer surface 29 each string 12 is thus substantially cylindrical in configuration as shown by fig1 and 2 and has a central space 31 radially interior to the inner surface 27 into which the collar 28 is received in normal upright orientation with the handle 20 positioned uppermost the strings 12 are vertically stacked in superposed relationship one atop another as depicted in fig1 six strings 12 a 12 b 12 c 12 d 12 e and 12 f are illustrated although it is to be understood that even a single string 12 could be used in the packaging hereof and theoretically the number of strings which could be stacked is limited only by the carrying capacity of the consumer and or the strength of the binding material and connection of the handle to the strings as shown in fig3 an initial ignition fuse 30 is provided on the outer surface 29 of one of the strings 12 preferably topmost string 12 a the initial ignition fuse 30 leads directly to the woven individual fuses 24 of that string 12 a whereby the detonation of all of the firecrackers 14 in the string 12 a may be initiated the woven individual fuses in each string 12 then wind inwardly along the spiral path ending with the last firecrackers 14 in the string 12 from the inward end of each of the strings 12.
