Paketauflösung

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Paketauflösung
English translation:package damage, destruction, or breakup
Entered by: Dr. Fred Thomson

German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
German term or phrase: Paketauflösung
From business terms and conditions:

Zu den üblichen Verzugszinsen trägt der Kunde im Verzugsfalle auch den Schaden von [Supplier], der durch Lagerhaltung und Paketauflösung entstehen (§ 288 Absatz 4 BGB)

I'm somewhat unsure what this precisely refers to. Simply "unpackaging" referring to such a process? Materials cost of the packaging? Costs incurred for the disposal of the packaging?

Thanks.
