      A packing of unit balls in \(d\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(E^d\) is called totally separable if any two unit balls can be separated by a hyperplane which is disjoint from the interior of each unit ball in the packing. The authors provide several bounds for the contact numbers of finite unit ball packings that are totally separable. They also deal with the case when centers of the balls in the packing are lattice points of the integer lattice \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) in \(E^d\).
