Hi Oracle Team,
After reading through the docs, I still cannot figure out how the two are different:
1. Multimedia ORD_IMAGE PL/SQL Package (ORD_IMAGE with an underscore in the name)
2. Multimedia ORDImage Object Type (ORDImage)
Functionally, they seem to be similar.
Should I change existing code using ORDImage to be more future proof.

These are quite different things.
ORDImage is the object type primarily intended for the storage of multimedia objects in the database. There are obviously a suite of methods and constructor functions to create/manipulate those objects which would have have some overlap with the ORA_IMAGE package, which is a complementary set of utilities to work with images
