Question:

What is the differnece between machine and machinery?

Is there any difference between the two words? I want to name a company's name, the product is machines.By the way, what about packing and packaging? are the different. The machine is mainly packaging facilities, how can i name the company's name?

Answer:

Basically, a machine is a single item performing a function. Machinery is a group of parts or machines arranged to perform a function. Since that group of parts or machines can also itself be thought of as a machine, the terms are somewhat interchangeable... however most people will use machine to refer to the singular and machinery to refer to either it's inner workings (parts) or a collection of machines. Packing and packaging are similar, except that the first is usually used as a verb (to pack is the act of packing) and the second is used as a noun (referring to either the contents of a package or what the contents are packed into -- e.g., the box and wrappings). It is not clear what you mean by the machine is mainly packaging facilities, so not sure how to help you name the company... but I hope the above helps you do so.
ya 1 machine vs more than 1 machine
Machine is just a singe machine but when many similar or different machines are grouped to perform a specific task, it is now referred to as MACHINERY.
