d1e478-1-1__para__3

As regards sales packaging (except service packaging (5)), or grouped packaging (6), the manufacturer is normally the economic operator that applies the final processing steps (e.g. cutting, filling, sealing) to the packaging supplied by converters (i.e. suppliers) and fills it with its product in order to then place the packaging or the packaged product on the Union market (Article 3(1), points (5)–(6)). In other words, for sales and grouped packaging, the manufacturer will normally be the filler, who is often also the product brand owner.
