It’s really not that unusual to manufacture in bulk at one facility and package in another.

Also let’s multiple “competitors” consolidate packaging into one big operation. Or localized to destination. Also a space thing: can ship more in bulk and make it all fluffier closer to point of sale.

Shoeboxes, among other packages, are a lot of air, why fill your truck/container/aircraft “unit load device” with it.
