The Packing List (PKL) is an XML file that provides a manifest of general information about the files within an IMP, including file sizes and hash values. A PKL file should be found alongside the other IMP component files described within the file.

IMF Package Packing List
- Note
- XML declaration, followed by <PackingList opening tag, shortly followed by a reference to http://www.smpte-ra.org, included here to avoid any incidental clashes with non-IMF formats using similar tags. Note that this signature doesn’t currently utilize any specific XML Namespace element for PKL, although this could be included if there is a requirement to distinguish between different schema compliance.
