It is important to package seed in dry containers for proper storage. For small quantities of seed, these containers may be tin cans, jars, or pots that are glazed on the inside; even reinforced boxes or bags can be suitable. Metal or plastic jerricans, or drums are often used to package large quantities of seed. Regardless of the type of container employed, it should be of standard size and shape, if possible, so that when one is filled with seed of a known purity percentage, the approximate number of seeds it contains can be estimated. Also, containers of standard sizes and shapes are easier to handle. This paper deals about the importance of seed packing and different types of packing materials.
