==== Packaging ====
 +
This is the packaging of the product. Multiple values are allowed. There is no taxonomy for this field, so you can enter anything you find relevant including:
 +
* the substance of the packaging: glass, metal, plastic, etc.
 +
* the shape: bottle, can, etc.
 +
 +
You can write it in your own language. Don't hesitate to add as much data as you find relevant.

Two draft taxonomies has been proposed, don't hesitate to comment or help:
 +
* a [[Global_packaging_taxonomy|global taxonomy]]
 +
* and a [[Global_packaging_taxonomy_logos|packaging logos taxonomy]]

In the database, there's two fields related to packaging:
 +
* <code>packaging</code>: the list of values entered in the packaging field; e.g.: <code>Bottle,Glass</code>
 +
* <code>packaging_tags</code>: an array of different packaging tags
