Tertiary packaging is often also referred to as bulk or transit packaging. Tertiary packaging is used to group larger quantities of SKUs to transport them from one point to another point (e.g. from production facility to point of sale). During this stage, products are handled as distribution units.
Tertiary packaging facilitates the protection, handling and transportation of a series of sales units or secondary packaging in order to group everything into unit loads during transit.
The pallet is the world standard for tertiary packaging. Pallets are designed to be easily moved by another staple of warehousing and storage facilities: the forklift. Tertiary packaging could be anything from a large box that combines smaller containers holding your products to a full pallet setup with corner board and stretch wrap keeping multiple products bundled together. This type of packaging is also referred to as bulk packaging or transit packaging.
Tertiary packaging is destined mainly to warehouses, such as a wholesaler or a retailer’s storage room. Due to their size, form factor and high product quantity, they are generally not meant to be seen directly by consumers.
