    silly question - directional arrows on primer's box

    so i got some wolf primers. there's a directional arrow on the box. does that mean they're suppose to be stored upright all the time? oddly, they didn't ship right side up in the container box anyway. i don't recall my cci primer packaging box having that. just wondering... i know, sounds silly.

    I've never seen or heard of that before.

    You made me get up and check my primers and neither the bricks or single packs of Wolf have arrows on them.

        Jeez, I sure hope their orientation doesn't matter. I've been using CCI and Winchester primers for 30 years and they come loaded in their trays completely randomly oriented right-side-up and right-side-down. And then there's the new-ish Federal packaging where they're stored sideways. Eeek! The humanity!

          it's not the actual box with the label that had the arrows. it was the box that held the 5 1k boxes that had the directional arrow. the outer box (holding the 5 1k boxes) was also from wolf hence asking. probably not a big deal. just kinda caught me. i'll post pics later when i get home. again, silly. but just checking since primers are hard to find and i don't want to be screwing them up.

            Directional arrow points to safety warning.

              sunwolf, so that's only relevant during transport? that's what was confusing me because when i received them, they were turned on the sides anyway in the big box container. That one didn't have directional arrows.

              so can you please clarify on the safety piece? sorry, didn't mean to be dense here although i'm starting to really sound like it. LOL

                because it is a hazzard shipping product the warning labels on how to treat them is written on the top of the box. The arrow points to such handling procedures for the product for the handler or shipping company so they know where to look.
