Hi Richard,
I'll try my best ...
> Shipping Container: A protective container in

Stop right there.
Enough said as far as I'm concerned.
Anything other than "shipping" comes
under the category below ...
> Packaging: A container in which the product is placed
that may satisfy but is not limited to any one of the
following conditions:
1. Prior to being placed in a shipping container.
2. For protection before or after being placed in a
shipping container from - handling, ESD, shock and
vibration, storage, dust, environmental effects, etc ...
3. To aid public display purposes in retail shops
and similar stores.
4. To display consumer information.
5. To display required compliance information.
Regards, Doug
