Xonox Shrinkwrap question

[FND]

I have two different Xonox Double Ender Games both with what I would bet is original shrinkwrap

Chuck Norris superkicks / Artillery Duel

Spike's Peak / Ghost Manor

 

My question has to do with a very small Pin hole on the top of both boxes in nearly the same location

this spot also has a round hole in the shrinkwrap perfectly centered around this hole (hole in the

shrinkwrap is the size and looks of what you would see when using a hole punch for three ring binders)

Is this a tell tail sign of original shrinkwrap used by Xonox, I expect this is some sort of position holder

that there shrinkwrap machine would of done during the shrinkwrap process. Can others look at there

boxes and see if they have this same type of mark. Not sure if all Xonox games were shirinkwraped ?

 

Here is a scan of both box ends with a little white arrow I added to show where the little hole is located

 

 

Here is the scans of the front and back of boxes showing the Original KingNormans price stickers and rack hangers

Also the big round yellow sticker on the front of the following box is on the outside of the shrinkwrap not under it

I've seen those holes in other old era shrinkwrap too. Doesnt mean that it cant be replicated with modern shrinkwrap

Pretty sure that's a liquidation notch or cut-out. It's very similar to what liquidators do with records, cassettes and PC games. It basically prevents a retailer from buying liquidation stock and then attempting to return them to the original distributor or publisher for full MSRP credit or a refund.

True I would expect given the desire to defraud Most all things can be dublicated I was just thinking this would be a good

clue

Very good, I had not thought of that makes perfect sense
