Discrete Geometry

arranging non-overlapping shapes to occupy as much space as possible.

In discrete geometry, packing refers to arranging non-overlapping shapes to occupy as much space as possible. This meaning comes from Conway (1988) in Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften. Here packing is not the winding of DNA around histone cores to compact the genome into the nucleus.[1]

In molecular biology, packing refers to the winding of DNA around histone cores to compact the genome into the nucleus. This meaning comes from Luger (1997) in Nature. Here packing is not arranging non-overlapping shapes to occupy as much space as possible.[2]
