Packaging in the automotive industry may be sorted into two main groups: 1. spare part packaging travelling from subcontractors to car manufacturers; 2. shipping containers protecting the original parts heading from car manufacturers or their subcontractors to retailers or brand repair shops. Subcontractors and car manufacturers make an effort to use returnable packaging to the maximum extent. Spare parts supplies for service networks rely primarily on one-way packaging, likewise the supplies to China, India and Kazakhstan.
