The patent number "6093016" is embossed in the same color as the body of the lighter at the back of the base. The packaging is a blue-gray paper box with a transparent plastic window in the front. "S & G Enterprises" and "Patent 6093016" are printed in black on either side of the packing box. A bar code with the numbers "6 63435 00221 8" and the price "$9.95" is printed on the bottom of the box.
