Which packaging term describes packaging that consists of one or more inner packaging secured in an outer packaging, forming a unit?

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

Answer: (B)

Combination packaging means a packaging that consists of one inner packaging secured in an outer packaging to form a single unit. This setup allows the whole assembly to be treated as one unit for handling and transport, which simplifies regulatory compliance and shipment labeling. For example, placing several small bottles inside a single outer box so they form one cohesive package is a combination package. This differs from other terms: an overpack groups multiple packages into one outer container but isn’t defined by the inner-outer unit concept; salvage packaging is used for damaged or leaking contents; composite packaging refers to an outer container made from multiple materials rather than the specific inner-outer unit arrangement.
