Great with some modifiaction
The matches and container are fine. The striking surface that is glued on to the top and bottom of the plastic case came off on both sides immediately. I recommend taking this off and storing inside the plastic case or putting in some wet/dry sandpaper for striking. Excellent except for that one issue.

Do these matches have specific shelf life? Will they break down over time (years) if not used and may not ignite?
Answer:
They do not have a specific shelf life.
