Spanish term or phrase: ENVASES Y EMBALAJES
This is from a list of job posts in a document on a food factory:

RESPONSABLE DE ALMACÉN DE MATERIAS PRIMAS Y ENVASES Y EMBALAJES

I understand that the "envases" are the packaging that contains the product (direct contact with the products) and that the "embalajes" are the outer packaging. How would we succinctly phrase this? TIA!
