Sales Packaging (Primary Packaging) is packaging conceived so as to constitute a sales unit to the final user or consumer at the point of purchase.

Grouped Packaging (Secondary Packaging) is packaging conceived so as to constitute at the point of purchase a grouping of a certain number of sales units whether the latter is sold as such to the final user or consumer or whether it serves only as a means to replenish the shelves at the point of sale; it can be removed from the product without affecting its characteristics.

Transport packaging (Tertiary Packaging) is packaging conceived so as to facilitate handling and transport of a number of sales units or grouped packaging in order to prevent physical handling and transport damage. Transport packaging does not include road, rail, ship and air containers.
