Packaging
Packaging in Actualog describes the physical container or handling unit used to store, sell, or ship Products.
Packaging belongs under the broader Logistics model. The Category Logistics Profile explains which product facts are available. Packaging supplies the physical packed values when the product cannot be shipped or exported from product attributes alone.

Package Type
A Package Type answers what kind of physical packaging is this?
It supports filtering, validation, integrations, and consistent terminology. It does not contain dimensions, material, product quantity, price, or stock.
Application Administrators maintain shared Package Types such as Box, Bag, Drum, Reel, Pallet, and Container.
Package
A Package is a named reusable physical packaging specification.
It can own the Package Type, code, material, external shipping dimensions, optional internal dimensions, empty-package weight, maximum supported load, capacity, returnable state, and active state.
Application Packages are shared master data. Company Packages belong to one Company and can be edited only in that Company workspace.
Product Pack
A Product Pack connects one Product to a quantity, Measure Unit, roles, and an optional Package.
It is the level that can receive its own identifier, be ordered, stocked, used in a shipping hierarchy, or sent to marketplace channels with packed gross weight and packed dimensions.
Every Product also has an automatic base Product Pack for one Category base unit without a physical Package.
Commercial Offer
A Commercial Offer belongs to a Sales Catalog and one exact Product Pack.
It stores price, currency, fulfilment mode, stock position, minimum order, order step, preparation time, and sale status.
Commercial terms do not belong to Package or Product Pack because they can differ between Catalogs.
