Each shell is constructed with a red plastic hull and a silver-toned metal head.

The shotgun shells themselves are marked with a stylized W and load identifiers such as LIGHT-8.
Condition report:
The ammunition boxes show light shelf wear including minor rubbing and softening at the corners and edges, though the graphics remain vibrant and the structural integrity of the packaging is sound. The individual shotgun shells appear in excellent, live condition with clean plastic hulls and no visible corrosion or tarnish on the silver-toned metal heads. The contents of the opened box appear well-organized and undisturbed.
