A match is a tool used to start a fire, typically composed of a small wooden stick or stiff paper. One end is coated with a material that ignites through friction when struck against a suitable surface. Wooden matches are packaged in matchboxes, while paper matches come in matchbooks. The match 'head' contains active ingredients and a binder, often colored. There are two primary types: safety matches, which require a specific striking surface, and strike-anywhere matches, which can be ignited on any suitably frictional surface.
