Spanish term

bulto

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals trabajo práctico faculta
Técnica de muestreo:
....
Si el material recibido se encuentra acondicionado en un bulto, se muestrea de manera aleatoria el número de unidades calculado.

Encontré por bulto = package / item

If the received material is conditioned in a package, the calculated number of units is randomly sampled.

seguramente haya otros errores, por eso sigo estudiando, pero me parece que no sería lo correcto decir *package* ¿no?

Note from asker:
so it is "packaged in a package?" or in a bundle/bale... I understand that I dont have to use conditioned beacuse its not the translation for acondicionado. But I dont understand now how Im supposed to do the translation for acondicionado en un bulto now...
Peer comment(s):
agree bizisyl : Either 'packed' or 'packaged' would work, as you suggest, Liz. In fact, the phrase 'packaged in (e.g. tamper-resistant) packages' is frequent in FDA regulations.

"package" is too general and it doesn't mean "bulto".
If you google images for "bales" or "bundles",
you'll see they're quite different from "bultos".
Check, for example, "bale of hay" and compare it against "bulto de arroz". There's a big difference.

Is the source text from Argentina? Isn't a "bulto" a "sack" there?
Or does it mean something else?

"bundled in a package" may get millions of hits,
but in my opinión it wouldn't be an accurate translation.
Note from asker:
Thank you for your answer. It could be a "sack" in Argentina, but I dont know the source text I have only paragraphs... it is from a text from a project work at university
