embalagens com conteúdo incompleto


Explanation:
Se formos ver com cuidado a sintaxe da frase em inglês, o adjetivo "partial" não se refere à embalagem em si, (pois um pacote ou caixa não pode ser "parcial") e sim, IMMO, ao conteúdo faltando.
A frase inteira seria:
... receiving partial or broken packs.
...é o fato de receberem embalagens danificadas ou com conteúdo incompleto
