3 Analytical Notes
- The multi-layer structure disguises the contents and keeps them stable during transport
- Colour, shape and label patterns are useful for comparing packaging across cases
- Should be used together with weight, size, reference codes and forensic results
- Network links should not be concluded from packaging alone
Note:Comparison of packaging characteristics should be considered together with other evidence and not used alone to draw links.
