Explanation
Packaging (except shipment packaging) for large musical instruments of all kinds is not subject to system participation because it typically accumulates with retailers. Large musical instruments are typically delivered by music retailers and the packaging is taken back.

Shipment packaging for large musical instruments of all kinds typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and, as such, is subject to system participation.
Specials
Cellos, double bases, etc. are usually distributed in instrument cases. The latter is not classified as packaging within the meaning of the VerpackG.

 		Delineation criterion
Delineation criterion

Criterion that relates to a specific product and determines whether the shipment, retail or grouped packaging in question is subject to system participation.

For food packaging, that delineation criterion often is quantity. For packaging filled with other products, the delineation criterion tends to be the number/volume or unit of the individual products contained in the packaging. Depending on the product, other criteria may be used within the scope of an overall market assessment to delineate or determine whether the system participation requirement applies to a packaging, such as the stress class in the case of laminate products.
