Which part of the NDC number indicates the package code and identifies the package forms and sizes?

  1. the first segment, up to 5 digits

  2. the second segment, 3-4 digits long.

  3. the third segment, 1-2 digits

  4. the last segment, 1-2 digits

The correct answer is: the third segment, 1-2 digits

The first and second segments of the NDC number represent the labeler code and product code, respectively. The last segment is typically reserved for the package size or strength. Therefore, the third segment is the only one that could potentially indicate the package code, as it is not used to represent any other information about the product.
