Relation between product, box and package

[Sumit Pandit-3]

Hello all,

Can some one tell me the relationship between

product, box and package

I am little bit confuse in the relation. It will be helpful for me if
some one express the relation in mathematical  terms.

Thanks

A Shipment has ShipmentItems (for each shipment item you can specify  
the productId) and ShipmentPackages (for each shipment package you can  
specify the boxTypeId).
The association between ShipmentItems and ShipmentPackages is thru the  
ShipmentPackageContent (so that the same ShipmentItem can be splitted  
in more than one package and one package can contain products from  
different shipment items).

The Product itself is not associated directly to the ShipmentPackages  
but we have some plans to add a new field to the Product entity to  
specify the default shipment box type (and number of pieces in it)  
that should be used when the product is shipped.

Product = Article , result of manufacturing , good or merchandise.
Box = Where you put product
Package = The action to aggregate different products
