d1e409-1-1__para__4

As regards adhesive films used in the production processes of goods, they can be packaging or not depending on their function. Adhesive process films can be designed to enable or facilitate the transformation of raw or intermediate materials into semi-finished or final products, through manufacturing processes. If such films remain on the semi-finished products until their transformation and/or assemblage into subsequent semi-finished products or final products, and act as enablers of the manufacturing cycle and address distinct technical needs of such processes, they are not packaging under Article 3(1) point (1).
