Hi, Here are the geometry types for a geopackage https://www.geopackage.org/spec/#geometry_types
And you will find the geometry types for shapefiles here. https://www.esri.com/content/dam/esrisites/sitecore-archive/Files/Pdfs/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf For lines or multiline... it’s the same for both. Limitations will be in the files size field names or field type that are more flexible in geopackage. But a line is a line, a polygon is a polygon... multiline and multipolygons the same. To my knowledge there is no difference. Maybe someone else will have a better information.
