A plastic receptacle with an outer fiber drum is described as which outer container?

• A. Outer plywood box
• B. Outer solid plastic box
• C. Outer fiberboard box
• D. Outer fiber drum

Answer: (D)

Outer packaging is identified by the outer container’s form and material. If the item inside is a plastic receptacle and the surrounding outer container is a cylindrical drum made of fiberboard, it is described as an outer fiber drum. The word “drum” signals the cylindrical container, and the material being fiberboard distinguishes it from a wooden box, a solid plastic box, or a fiberboard box. So the correct description is outer fiber drum, not any type of box.
