Retail products and transport packaging are named in the Synkka service in accordance with common practices. Based on the name information, the recipients can form product names for different purposes. Name information is used e.g. in online stores.
The packaging hierarchy consists of a base unit, a case, a pallet or an assortment. Recipients also need product information for logistics units to be able to plan product transportation and storage.
