Abstract: Detonator packaging comprising a casing, a carton for retaining a plurality of casings and spacers for separating and organizing the casing within the carton is disclosed. The casing is formed from a plurality of connected sections of relatively dense material, such as Homeosote. The casing preferably includes two end sections and one or more interior sections retained, or sandwiched, between the two end sections. An opening, or bore, extends through one of the end sections and into one or more of the interior sections. A detonator having an explosive end is inserted into the opening so that the explosive end is retained at least partially within one of the interior sections. A carton is preferably formed of corrugated cardboard and is large enough to hold a plurality, preferably about one hundred fifty, of the casings. Paper or cardboard spacers are used to space the casings from transmission tubes retained within the carton.
