In some industries, rather than breaking bulk, the intermediaries perform a process of accumulating bulk-that is, they take in product from multiple sources and transform it, often through sorting it into different classifications for sales through the channel. Eggs, for example, might come into a processing house from individual farm operators for sorting by grade and size, then to be packaged and sent on their way to retailers.
