As anyone who hauls a lot of stuff for other people probably knows, organizing other peoples stuff using anything but courier contracts can quickly become an exercise in tearing your hair out. Containers can't be sized dynamically, ships cargo bays have no built-in organization system, and freighters cant even use anything besides the jumbo large general freight container. If you are moving stuff without couriers, often the only way to know who owns what is to open note pad and write everything down, which gets annoying.
What I propose is to introduce a new service that would be available in all stations (NPC stations could charge a small fee, player owned stations could be more configurable) that would allow you to select any selection of hanger goodies and ships, right click them, and wrap them up in shrink wrap. You could then apply any label you wanted to the wrap so you could use it as an organization tool in both haulers and hangers.

I have to say it would be kinda nice to shrinkwarp prepackaged stuff.
Particularly when things get messy.

Definitely!
But don't confuse it with Repackaging items. Something like right-click > Shrinkwrap Items or right-click > Box Items would be better. Using the word Package would be pad due to confusing it with repackaging, I think.

While I am all for neat hangars wouldn't it make a lot more sense to double the number of hangar divisions. A wrapped item cannot be accessed unless the entire bundle is opened, so you are essentially asking for a long-term storage solution that does not involve office rentals.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't one of the significant differences between the wrap and cans that the wrap can't be scanned? I am sure the suicide gankers on the hub-gates would shed a tear if all haulers were using x-ray proof cargo bays.
Will the player made label allow you to see exactly what is inside? If not, they should not be trade-able to avoid the obvious scam potential.

I don't like this idea the way it is worded right now it is just what scammers need to scam thru contracts or sales

A simple solution to the scamming issue is to make wrapped packages non-contractable. If you wanted to contract stuff for another person to move, you would use a courier contract in the first place. This seems like it would be more for moving personal items or items for friends/corporations, where they could just direct trade you a wrapped package.

You see what is inside of these packs, dont worry about the suicide gankers.

This makes perfect sense. As an alternate implementation, if this works any better, have a container of customizable size - just right-click, pick a number of m3, and your can takes up that much space and stores that much stuff. Seems like it might be a bit easier to use.

Yes.
Although one possible point... CCP might not like this because it allows you to easily put containers in a freighter. Although couriers can do that, this would allow you to do it solo.

Another idea: A new in game item: Plastic wrapper. One time use only. Infinite volume. It's size is equal to it's volume + 0.1m^3. You re-name it into name of the pilot, and throw all the stuff in there. That will alow using them anywhere, including null-sec and deep wormhole space. Fix Destroyers |

i want to see this too maby it can be a way to transport rigged ships. once the ship is in a package it acts like a freighter can and can be loaded into any standard transport while the rigs remain intact
