international regulations. Some common packing materials for dangerous
goods include steel pails, plastic jugs and fiberboard boxes.
The UN sets the standard for these packing groups:

goods in this category may not be shipped in the same container or on the
same plane with others also in Group.
Packing Group II – Medium Danger
Packing Group III – Minor Danger
