Default Meaning

Hi,

could you please tell me what "transparencies for catalogues" mean in the following text:

The price shall include suitable packaging to withstand transit, pallets, transparencies for catalogues and sample packs.

Thanks a lot!

Hanka

I'd say this would mean clear, see-through wrappings(plastic bags) which are used for mailing catalogues so that you don't throw them into the dustbin the minute you get them (as I usually do )

It could also be transparent sheets used for showing text or pictures with an overhead projector , which I don't think it is meant to be in the text above.

hope this helps.
