Uniformity

The contents of each package, or each bundle in the same package must be uniform and contain only leeks of the same origin, variety or commercial type, quality and size (if sized), and appreciably the same degree of development and colouring.
The visible part of the contents of the package must be representative of the entire contents.
Presentation should not be misleading, i.e. concealing in the lower layers of the package or in the interior of the bundle produce inferior in quality and size to that displayed and marked.

Packaging

The leeks must be packed in such a way as to protect the produce properly.
Packages must be of a quality, strength and characteristic to protect the produce during transport and handling.
Especially during warm weather conditions, the transport vehicle and the packaging material must allow a good aeration of the produce. Otherwise, there is a high risk of the produce to heat up or wilt untimely or suffers any other degradation in quality if this is not respected.
The materials used inside the package must be clean and of a quality such as to avoid causing any external or internal damage to the produce. The use of materials, particularly of paper or stamps bearing trade specifications, is allowed, provided the printing or labelling has been done with non‑toxic ink or glue.
Stickers individually affixed on the produce shall be such that, when removed, they neither leave visible traces of glue, nor lead to skin defects.
Packages must be free of all foreign matter.
Clean materials should be used to protect the produce from foreign matter such as leaves, sand or soil, which could cause a negative impact on the produce and its presentation. A visible lack of cleanliness in several packages could result in the goods being rejected.
