The statement 'Both the inner and outer wrapping must identify the highest classification level of the information the package will contain' is true or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not enough information
• D. Irrelevant

Answer: (B)

When packaging classified information, the handling markings are driven by the most sensitive content inside. The outer wrapping must indicate the highest classification level so anyone handling the package knows the overall sensitivity and applies the proper protections. Inner wrappings, on the other hand, are typically marked according to the contents they directly contain, not necessarily the highest level across the entire package. If there are items of different classifications, you manage them to avoid exposing higher levels unintentionally, often by separate packaging or by ensuring inner labels align with their own contents. Because inner packaging does not have to reflect the overall highest classification, the statement that both inner and outer wrapping must identify the highest classification level is not correct.
