Document Sets were introduced in SharePoint 2010 and provide
a broad range of capabilities to manage content. They allow the grouping of
related content into a single entity. The content that is contained within a
Document Set can be treated as an atomic unit
or as part of a larger set of documents that can be treated
consistently.
In SharePoint 2010 you can create your own custom content type.
A document set can contain documents, workbooks, presentations or videos.

In the Site Content Type Information page click on Document Set settings.
