German term or phrase: Verpackungsgrößen stückeln
Im Sinne einer möglichst schnellen Auftragswicklung behalten wir uns das Recht vor, angegebene Verpackungsgrößen zu stückeln (z.B. Bestellmenge 1 x 500g; Liefermenge: 5 x 100g). Im Falle einer Stückelung wird die bestellte Verpackungsgröße verrechnet. Wird eine Stückelung nicht gewünscht, so ist dies ausdrücklich auf der Bestellung zu vermerken.

vielen Dank!

neutral  Mair A-W (PhD): this is the wrong way, surely? Unitize would be Bestellmenge 5x100g, liefermenge 1x500g ?

  -> Not necessarily, but you might be right. The amounts in the ST are only examples, what if it went the other way around, too? Unitize simply means use different units.

agree  Armorel Young: or even something like "make up the quoted pack size with smaller units"

  -> Thank you, Armorel!

agree  Thomas Pfann: Auch mit Armorels Anregung. Das lässt sich hier wohl sehr viel einfacher im Satz auflösen, als unbedingt eine Übersetzung für den Begriff „Stückelung“ (er)finden zu wollen. Das macht dann auch den Anschluss des nächsten Satzes leichter (andere Frage).

dividing quantities (on shipments)


Explanation:
This may be a straightforward way of expressing this in English. I agree with Thomas in that the focus seems to be on adjusting quantities down, presumably within a single shipment. Of course, it's also possible that a merchant decides to change the quantities - and - to split the order into multiple shipments (at the same time). But we don't have to be concerned about that. The main angle is still about the quantities being adjusted down.

multi-unit packaging


Explanation:
Where the final quantity or volume is made up of several individual packages of smaller size.
More common in the food & drinks sector, but equally applicable to any and all orders made up of smaller packages 'compounded' together.

"Any package containing more than one individual package of a commodity...."
