Let MPT (v, 2) denote a maximum packing of triples of order v and index 2. An MPT (v, 2) is called simple if it contains no repeated triples. It is proved in this paper that for v > 2 and any even 2, the necessary and sufficient condition for the embedding of a simple MPT(v,2) in a simple MPT(u,).) is u >/2v + 1.
