Sammanpackade

Sammanpackade is a Swedish term formed from samman- (together) and packa (to pack), with the past participle ending -de. The word functions as an adjective and can be used predicatively or attributively to describe items that have been packed together or assembled into a bundled package. The forms sammanpackad (singular, common gender), sammanpackat (neuter), and sammanpackade (plural) follow standard Swedish adjective agreement: den sammanpackade lådan, de sammanpackade lådorna, ett sammanpackat paket.

Etymology and nuance

The word emphasizes that multiple components have been gathered into a single unit or set, rather than simply being packaged individually. It often signals a deliberate combination or bundling of items, rather than loose or separate packaging. Because of its specificity, sammanpackade is more common in contexts where a bundle or collection is central to the meaning, such as sales sets, software distributions, or curated collections.

Typical usage

In logistics and retail, sammanpackade produkter eller sammanpackade erbjudanden refer to bundles sold as a unit. In software and data contexts, a sammanpackad distribution can denote a single archive or installer that contains several components. In media or information packaging, a sammanpackat informationspaket might describe a dossier that bundles text, images, and other materials into one package for distribution. The term can also describe physical packaging where items are secured together for transport.

Relation to related terms

Sammanpackad is related to paketerad (packaged) and sammanfogad (joined together), but it carries a stronger sense of deliberate bundling. The word is more common in written Swedish and technical or logistical writing than in everyday speech.
