Novobox did not sell off their Star Metalpak patent, that is why I called them pirate copies. The metal tins for Escape Plan, Rambo and Rush are not authentic and I have heard that the quality is not as good as Futurepak. I confirmed everything with the owner of Novobox.
The original Star Metalpak (SMP) did not open flat. Novobox updated SMP so that it would open flat, the pictures on the Novobox site are the updated SMP which they do sell in some territories but not the US. The pirate copies are the original SMP that does not open flat.
The original SMP had 2 separate pieces of plastic and the hinge was a metal pin. The updated SMP had 2 separate pieces of plastic and the hinge is two plastic clips. The Futurepak is 1 complete piece of plastic.
