Why not have the scratch strip on the top instead of on the sides?
In todays matchboxes, its a simple question of printing. The strip is part of the paper glued onto the box's exterior.

[Suggests pashute tries picking up the box from the tray sides, not the striking strip sides, when his/her hands are wet.] |

I pick the box up from the ends, or with dry hands. |
|
| |
Also, with an extra grippy surface the size of the boxes top, it would be difficult to slip a box of matches into your pocket (depending of course on the size of your pockets) |
|
| |
When you put the box of matches down, just put the box on it's side and get the top and bottom all wet. |
|
| |
The sides where the strips are now are the strongest, the top as it is now is not strong enough. |

Why use matches at all...I use the long necked Bic...and besides, who the heck goes from task to task in the kitchen with wet hands...get a towel. Dripping all over the stove, counter top and floor creates a rather ugly mess and a dangerous slippery conditions. |
