In Brazilian Portuguese, 'pacote' is the standard term for both physical packages and figurative bundles (policy packages, deals). It's commonly used in commerce, shipping, software, and political discourse. The term carries no negative connotation unless specifically modified (e.g., 'pacote duvidoso' meaning 'shady deal'). Brazilians frequently use diminutive 'pacotinho' for small packages.
