Packaging number 5 indicates the material is packaged in a which container?

• A. Drum
• B. Box
• C. Bag
• D. Jerrican

Answer: (C)

In this system, the number shown with the packaging requirement points to the exact container type approved for that material. Packaging number five is the bag option, meaning the material is packaged in a bag (often with an inner liner and then placed in outer packaging as required). Drums, jerricans, and boxes are associated with other packaging numbers, reflecting their different design requirements and the types of materials they’re best suited to contain. So the correct match for packaging number five is a bag.
