Produce may be packaged for transport or sale.

In parts of the world, including the U.S. and Europe, loose pieces of produce, such as apples, may be individually marked with small [[sticker]]s bearing [[price look-up codes]]. These four- or five-[[Numerical digit|digit]] codes are a [[standardization|standardized]] system intended to aid [[Point of sale|checkout]] and [[inventory control]] at places where produce is sold.
