An interesting article in the "Clarinet & Saxophone Society of Great Britain" magazine talks about counterfeit Vandoren reeds/products and Vandoren's Flow Pack packaging as a direct attempt to thwart counterfeiters:

Now that literally begs for an evil joke:
How do you know your Vandorens are counterfeit?
There is more than one good reed in the box...

Wow, who would've thought a black market for REEDS! Makes you wonder about everything that you don't buy direct from a dealer, huh?
It sounds as though Van Doren made a responsible choice.

D'ya think those "Moray" reeds I bought out of the back of some guy's panel truck were counterfeit? Gee, they sure seemed to be made out of some spongy cane......

The picture of the eel on the box should have told you something!

"THE CELLOPHANE is an ongoing project. It is a common type made from polypropylene "
Interesting article but strictly marketing hype. Technically speaking, Cellophane cannot be made from polypropylene.
