Ancillary packaging (or all shipping packaging) is typically outside of brand packaging. (ii) Redundant packaging or unnecessary packaging means packaging that does not add any measurable protection to the supply being shipped, such as multiple layers of bubble wrap to an already durable product that is encased in a cardboard box. An example of this is a home testing kit with all plastic components already packaged in a cardboard box with cardboard inserts to absorb shock, that is then shipped in multiple layers of bubble wrap. In this example the bubble wrap is the redundant single-use plastic packaging. <STARS/> </SECTION> </REGTEXT> <SIG> <NAME>Jeffrey A.
