Note(s) The term "packaging" should be understood as including mainly the following operations: filling portable containers or receptacles with materials or small articles to form packages; inserting articles, or groups of articles, into containers or receptacles; closing filled containers or receptacles otherwise than by metal-, glass-, or wood-working operations; enclosing, or partially enclosing, articles or quantities of material, in sheets, strips, blanks, webs, or tubes of thin flexible material, e.g. wrapping; bundling articles, e.g. holding articles together in groups by applying string or wire; attaching articles to cards, sheets, or webs. Operations of these types employed in the manufacture of articles other than packages are classified in other appropriate sub-classes, e.g. making confectionery products by casting in moulds formed by wrappers Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A23G, filling ammunition cartridges Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F42B. Methods of packaging which are wholly characterised by the form of the package produced, or the form of the container or packaging-element utilised, are classified in Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...B65D rather than in this sub-class. In the following elaborations, the term "package" is used to mean the end product of a packaging operation, e.g. a filled and closed container, an article enclosed in a wrapper, a group of articles held together by string or wire, a crate of bottles. In the following elaborations, the term "materials" is to be understood as embracing matter, or masses of articles, which are to be packaged, as distinct from separate or individual articles.
