Compression + archiving
(Multiple files => 1 file, makes it smaller)

Archiving only
(many files => 1 file, no compression attempted)
- ARC (Internet Archive)
- BinHex (.hqx)
- LBR (.lbr)
- Tape Archive (.tar)
- AR file format (.a, .lib) -- Unix Archiver (ar) format as used by various compilers/linkers
- CPIO (.cpio)
- BagIt
Stream compression formats
A stream format takes a stream of bytes, and outputs a different, hopefully smaller, stream of bytes. These compression formats are often used internally in other data structures to compress data, as well as in network protocols, such as http. Used stand-alone, a stream compression format does not offer archiving capability, however in the UNIX doctrine, an archiver like tar can be combined with an archive format to produce a proper compressed archive.
