Großgebinden oder Getränke-Sechser-Packs

English translation: large containers or six-packs

German term or phrase: Großgebinden oder Getränke-Sechser-Packs
This is with reference to labelling of products. The labels used in this context are coupon labels that can be easily peeled off from the carrier label. The advantage of such a label is its use as a barcode label in the case of 'Großgebinden oder Getränke-Sechser-Packs'. It saves the trouble of lifting the product from the shopping trolley onto the conveyor to scan for billing, and again back from the conveyor to the trolley.
I know this has to do with packages for bottles and some heavy stuff, but I cant find the exact term for 'Großgebinden oder Getränke-Sechser-Packs'. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Explanation:
I recently translated a market study about drinks of all sorts being sold in "large containers" which were called (Groß)gebinde.

Getränke-Sechser Packs can simply be translated as six-packs. In my opinion, you do not need to add anything else, because six-packs usually contain drinks.

HTH,

agree  Joy Christensen: also a good suggestion, and "beverage six-packs" makes it clear

Explanation:
My logistics dictionary translates Gebinde as packaging drum. Maybe this would apply in your situation. See site below for an example.

Explanation:
Per my Fachwörterbuch Verpackung. It is a collective term. And it would cover the Gebinde no matter what its shape may be.
