Definition
business process of putting some products or some portion of material into a package according to a packaging plan specification
Explanatory Notes
1- While there are certainly packaging processes for transport or storage, another common and important packaging process prepares something for sale. An actual product that results from this process includes the package and has a different product identifier depending on that package (as with GTINs). In batch industries like beer, the line used to package the material is completely separated from the line used to make it and runs on its own schedule
2- Logistics Packaging Process is the preparation of product or commodity for proper storage and/or transportation.
3- Packaging may entail blocking, bracing, cushioning, marking, sealing, labeling, strapping, weather proofing, wrapping processes.
Examples
- filling aluminum cans with beverage; Boxing an item in an Amazon Fulfillment Center before shipping; Plastic wrapping office furniture before shipment, putting 12 bottles of soft drink in a case and wrapping the case before transporting to the warehouse
Primitive Class

Primitive Rationale
The required construct (the notion of package in this case) for creation of a formal definition are not available in this release.
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
PackagingProcess(x) → BusinessProcess(x) ∧ ∃m∃p(MaterialProduct(m) ∧ PackagingPlanSpecification(p) ∧ hasParticipantAtSomeTime(x,m) ∧ prescribedBy(x,p))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘packaging process’ then x is a ‘business process’ and ‘has participant at some time’ some ‘material procduct’ and x is ‘prescribed by’ some ‘packaging plan specification’
