The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

binary package

    An archive file that contains all files and
   directories that must be installed in order to make a working
   installation of the program(s) included in the package, and
   the maintainer scripts necessary for the installation.  A
   binary package is usually specific to a certain platform, in
   contrast to a source package.
