English term or phrase: Substitutive package
I need the name for a "substitutive package" used in case of breaking the original one. I cannot google-out anything that might seem reasonable.

korvaava pakkaus
Explanation:
This would be 'korvaava pakkaus' in Finnish. If you would like to provide the context I can have a look to make sure it's the best translation, but this is the literal translation for substitutive package.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It referes to packaging material for goods sold from the stock, and in case the package is broken, the seller puts the goods into a package with a sign "Substitutive package" in EN

Explanation:
I'm not sure if my earlier note is visible, so just a note here to confirm that indeed I think the right translation would be "korvaava pakkaus", when it is the package that is damaged. If the product inside was damaged (substitutive product) it would be "korvaava tuote".
