A data is a collection of packets. A packet is sub part of data which contains some header bits along with the message bits.

Each packet consists of three distinct parts, each of which each part contains some of the components listed above: Header: typically includes an alert signal to indicate that the data is being transmitted, source and destination addresses and clock information to synchronise the transmission.

As you can see in this the message is divided into chunks and then from the application layer it adds the header bits and recieve to the transport layer and then in consecutive layers each layer add its header bits.
