What do you know about the different types of boxes and wrappers?

I've searched a few boxes of quarters, and so far they have all been in wrappers from Loomis. Today I received a box with holes in the bottom. Inside were coins wrapped N.F. String and Son out of Harrisburg, PA. I was excited to see the Harrisburg, PA on the wrappers because I need P-mint coins to fill my albums.

Are all the companies that wrap and box coins about the same?

By "about the same" what do you mean?

 

As in from the same bank, I received two different coin wrappers. But which one is most likely to have uncirculated quarters straight from the federal reserve?

 

I live in SC. Every single roll of fresh, UNC, straight from the Reserve rolls I've gotten have been NF Strings. I think Loomis is a re-packaged deal.

 

NF String just makes the wrappers and boxes and stuff AFAIK. They don’t roll the coins themselves. Even if they do, your coins are almost 100% guaranteed to not be from PA.

 

They are not. Most of the coins have a D-mint mark. Haha

Those are the ONLY people who get coins fresh from the mint.

 

From my observations. All companies use whatever box is cheapest when they go to order. I've gotten Loomis in all styes of boxes but more commonly I get plain unbranded quarter rolls in the taller thinner horizontal packed boxes while usually nf string or Loomis in the wider vertical packed boxes with viewing holes or without.

As far as wrappers go, Loomis has their own branded wrappers and I've seen brinks also.
Some companies use nf string wrappers that have the nf string machines, my guess is they give a better deal on the paper if you buy their machines which I guess makes it cost effective to use the nf string wrappers.

The unbranded quarter machine wrapped rolls, now this could be bank or casino rerolls or other armored carriers like guardia or something. These wrappers I've never gotten new BU coins out of while I do get new BU from any of the branded wrappers but no guarantees.

Those taller thinner boxes with generic quarter wrappers that the rolls are packed horizontally in are the worst for me I'd say excepting only whole BU boxes of 2018 or Lowell 2019s which I've gotten many off this year and of course no Ws and nothing to possibly find really. Boring hunts, much worse that the tall boxes with generic machine wrapped rolls.
