packing material / packaging material

same question: what's the difference? At any rate, packing material has around 30 million Google hits and packaging material around 50 million. Take your pick.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Kim Metzger : It would appear the asker doesn't need the difference between the English words, but the difference between the Danish words. When it's 9 am in Florida, it's 8 am in Mexico.

tak, Jens
agree Christine Andersen : It's material when it's a roll of plastic film, carton blanks or whatever in the store, and packaging when it's wrapped round the product. Bar codes can be pre-printed on the film etc.

thank you
agree Daniella Dukes (X) : I agree, but another possibility could be wrapping material - but then I suppose people would think it refers to wrapping paper.. Which it doesn't, in this context. Anyway, I agree with SwissTell. =)
