Greetings,

Quantity 1=1 piece.

“Bulk” packaging indicates that materials are packaged in an unspecified/non-standard manner that is generally unsuited to automated handling.

This compares with methods such as “Tape & Reel” where the packaging is specifically designed to provide consistency of orientation and positioning in order to accommodate automated handling and placement.
