The styrofoam stackers are under the paper label and also not visible. But the I noticed a few (5 or less) spindles with a lower top lip, a different font for "lock" and "unlock," and no paper Verbatim label on top of the discs, so you can see the disc and the stackers, which are plastic and not styrofoam. It's a pretty safe hunch the ones without the paper label on top are made at the Prodisc plant while the others are made by CMC.
