Latest revision as of 11:04, 4 August 2025

Packaging is used to protect, transport and apply products. Packaging is often sourced from suppliers as products. Packaging materials are then combined into a Bill of Materials forming a product.

Sales Unit (e.g. Consumer Trade item with GTIN) = Product (Consumable, Durable or Disposable) + Packaging

Packaging Materials can have multiple suppliers, each with their own product.

Packaging Information Model Packaging Material

Packaging Type (this is the key packaging type)
ArticleNr (internal ID)
UMID (unique material identifier)
Name
One or more packaging elements
- Packaging Type
- Per Packaging Element one or more materials and per material
  - Material type (every material type belongs to one Material Class)
  - Weight (Units: μg, g, Kg}
  - Set of Attributes with values (the of attributes depends on material class)
- Composites Materials have again material lines (with full set of material attributes).

Material Class specific attributes

These attributes are dependent of the material class

+Packaging Information Model
-* Product Packaging consists of One or More Packaging elements
-**Packaging Element is of a Packaging Type
-** Each element can consist of One or more Materials
-*** Materials can be mono materials (PET, Aluminium) or Composites
-*** Composites can be either Bulk (Mixed like stainless and carbon steel) or Layered (eg. drinking carton)
-*** Per Material you have material class dependent attributes.
