The following piece of search shares with us the various packaging types such as transport package and distribution package.
Packaging Types
Packaging may be looked at as several different types.
Primary packaging is the material that first envelops the product and holds it. This usually is the smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is in direct contact with the contents.
Secondary packaging is outside the primary packaging - perhaps used to group primary packages together.
Tertiary packaging is used for bulk handling warehouse storage and transport shipping. The normal form is a unit load that packs tightly into containers.
These broad categories can be somewhat arbitrary. For example, depending on the use, a shrink wrap can be primary packaging when applied directly to the product, secondary packaging when combining smaller packages, and tertiary packaging on some distribution packs
For example, a transport package or distribution package is the package form used to ship store and handle the product or inner packages.

Hi, what about a syringe of sterile solution, that then gets blister packed and then in a carton of e.g 10 blister packed syringes. The syringe in the primary, blister secondary abd carton tertiary? Usually the shipper is considered the tertiary packaging though? So what would ths situation make the final shipper?
Thanks! for describe different in packaging types.
