What term describes packaging that consists of an outer packaging and an inner receptacle constructed to form an integral packaging?

• A. Overpack
• B. Salvage Packaging
• C. Composite Packaging
• D. Combination Packaging

Answer: (C)

Composite packaging describes a system where an inner receptacle and an outer packaging, made of different materials, are joined to form one integral unit. The key idea is that the inner part and the outer shell are fixed together to act as a single package; you can’t separate them without breaking the package. This matches the description of an outer packaging and an inner receptacle constructed to form an integral packaging.

Overpacks simply enclose existing inner packagings to create a larger container without forming one unit with the contents. Combination packaging involves multiple inner packagings placed inside an outer container but not bonded into a single unit. Salvage packaging is specialized for damaged or leaking goods.
