Exporting management packs
For those who are new to Sealed and Unsealed management packs, the following is the difference explained in a paragraph taken from
In Service Manager, most of the customization activities are performed using management packs (MP). Customization activities can be performed for multiple objects, such as notification templates, groups, list items, workflows, and so on. MPs are of two types: Sealed and Unsealed.

extension. Unsealed management packs are just XML files with the .xml
extension and can be modified using the SCSM console, or any other method to edit the XML file. A Sealed MP and an Unsealed MP both work best together to achieve most of the scenarios.
