A packaging fixture may include a first member including a plurality of first generally round apertures and a plurality of first elongated apertures. The first member may include a thickness from a first side to an opposite second side and each of the plurality of first round apertures and the plurality of elongated apertures may extend through the thickness of the first member. Each of the plurality of elongated apertures may be connected to and extend from a corresponding one of the plurality of first round apertures. Each of the plurality of first round apertures may be adapted to receive a portion of a propulsive device. The first member may be adapted to retain the propulsive device when a protrusion of the propulsive device is misaligned with a corresponding one of the plurality of elongated apertures.

1. A packaging fixture comprising: a first member including a plurality of first generally round apertures, a plurality of first elongated apertures, and a thickness from a first side to an opposite second side, each of said plurality of elongated apertures being connected to and extending from a corresponding one of said plurality of first round apertures, said plurality of first round apertures and said plurality of elongated apertures each extending through said thickness; anda second member including a plurality of second generally round apertures and a plurality of helically inclined cutouts, each of said plurality of helically inclined cutouts being disposed at least partially around a corresponding one of said second round apertures and having a first end aligned with a corresponding one of said elongated apertures, said second member engaging said second side of said first member;wherein each of said plurality of first round apertures is adapted to receive a portion of a propulsive device, and said first member is adapted to retain the propulsive device when a protrusion of the propulsive device is misaligned with a corresponding one of said plurality of elongated apertures. 2. The packaging fixture of claim 1, wherein said second member includes a first surface and a second opposite surface and said helically inclined cutouts include a second end angularly spaced at least 90 degrees apart from said first end such that said helically inclined cutouts extend at an acute angle relative to said first surface from said first end adjacent said first surface towards said second surface to said second end. 3. The packaging fixture of claim 1, wherein said first member is formed from a metallic material and said second member is formed from a polymeric material, and wherein said second member has a thickness substantially greater than the thickness of said first member, said first member being generally flat and having a length and width substantially greater than its thickness. 4. The packaging fixture of claim 1, wherein said second member is a generally flat second member having an upper side and an opposite lower side. 5. The packaging fixture of claim 4, wherein said generally flat second member is formed from at least one of a cardboard material and a resiliently compressible material. 6. The packaging fixture of claim 1, further comprising a container receiving said first member. 7. A packaging system comprising: a first member including a first side, a second opposite side and a plurality of first apertures extending therethrough, each of said plurality of first apertures including a substantially round portion and an elongated portion extending outward from said round portion; anda clocking member including a first surface, a second opposite surface and a plurality of second apertures having locating portions and clocking portions, said locating portions being aligned with said round portions of said plurality of first apertures, each of said clocking portions including a helically inclined surface having a first end and a second end, said first end being aligned with a corresponding one of said elongated portions of said plurality of first apertures, and said first surface of said clocking member being positioned adjacent said second side of said first member. 8. The packaging system of claim 7, wherein said helically inclined surfaces extend angularly about corresponding longitudinal axes of said round portions. 9. The packaging system of claim 8, wherein said helically inclined surfaces extend angularly at least 90 degrees between said first end and said second end, said second end being spaced a greater distance from said first surface than said first end. 10. The packaging system of claim 7, wherein said first member is formed from at least one of a metallic material and a polymeric material. 11. The packaging system of claim 10, wherein said first member includes a thickness of about 0.03 inches. 12. The packaging system of claim 7, further comprising a container receiving said first member and said clocking member therein. 13. The packaging system of claim 7, further comprising an insert member having an upper surface and an opposite lower surface, said lower surface being adjacent to said first side of said first member opposite said clocking member. 14. The packaging system of claim 13, wherein said insert member includes a plurality of third apertures having round portions and elongated portions extending therefrom, said round portions of said third apertures aligning with corresponding round portions of said first apertures, said elongated portions of said third apertures aligning with corresponding elongated portions of said first apertures. 15. The packaging system of claim 13, wherein said insert member is formed from at least one of a cardboard material and a resiliently compressible polymeric material. 16. The packaging system of claim 13, further comprising a container receiving said first member, said clocking member, and said insert member therein. 17. The packaging system of claim 13, further comprising a propulsion device having a body portion and a first and a second protrusion extending therefrom, said body portion engaging said locating portion of one of said second apertures, said first protrusion engaging said helically inclined surface of said second aperture, said second protrusion contacting said upper surface of said insert member. 18. The packaging system of claim 17, wherein said first protrusion engages said second end of said helically inclined surface when said second protrusion engages said upper surface of said insert member. 19. The packaging system of claim 7, further comprising a propulsion device having a body portion and first and second protrusions extending therefrom, said body portion engaging said locating portion of one of said second apertures, said first protrusion engaging said helically inclined surface of said clocking portion of said second aperture. 20. The packaging system of claim 7 in combination with at least one propulsion device, each propulsion device received within a respective one of the first round apertures. 21. The packaging system in combination with at least one propulsion device of claim 20, wherein each propulsion device includes first and second protrusions, each propulsion device rotated about its longitudinal axis such that said first and second protrusions are rotationally misaligned with said elongated portion and said first and second protrusions are disposed on opposite sides of said first member. 22. A packaging fixture for retaining at least one propulsion device each propulsion device having a main body portion and a protrusion extending from the main body portion, the packaging fixture comprising: a first member including a plurality of first openings extending therethrough, each of said plurality of first openings having a main portion for receiving the main body portion of a propulsion device and a dependent portion extending from the main portion and configured to allow the protrusion to pass through the first member; anda second member including a plurality of second openings extending at least partially therethrough, each second opening includes an inclined portion for engaging the protrusion of the propulsion device aligned with a corresponding one of said dependent portions of the first openings;wherein said second member is adapted to rotate the main body portion of the propulsion device so as to misalign the protrusion relative to the dependent portion of the first opening and said first member is adapted to retain the propulsive device when the protrusion of the propulsive device is misaligned with the dependent portion.
