Planck Bubble Generator (from some ancient release notes):
"Advancements in Planck Bubble Generation Technologies have allowed for the creation of containers that have higher capacity than volume. All containers can now contain 20% more than the space they occupy. Planck Bubble Generation has the added restriction of not being able to place a Planck Bubble generator within another Planck Bubble, as that would cause an indeterminate graviton harmonics chain reaction, with an expected breakdown of causality."
Hey it's Science Fiction, can't argue with that.

CCP broke the Law of Math
I just stuffed 15,000 m3 of items into a 11,800 m3 space using containers.
Is it me or did the eve devs have poor math skills?
And how come this was never fixed?
LAW?
Let's see.... Newton did it... and Copernicus... Galileo, of course... Einstein...
Oh my GOD, it's a CONSPIRACY! Those evil masterminds were in cahoots to trick us out of our concept reality! For SHAME! I KNEW that round earth theory was bunk! 
It's called physics, genius. The device is called a Planck Bubble Generator. Planck as in Max Planck, the founder of quantum theory. Our current level of understanding does not allow for compression of physical space, but any such device would likely be honoured with his name. Simply attempting to put a can inside another, and looking the name mentioned in the resultant error message up, would lead you to this conclusion. Assume nothing, and your life will become a lot easier.
But while you're at arresting people for things that scare you out of your creationist bureacrat-lined comfort-bubble of rules and Ockham's-Razor-simplicity, maybe you should whine about projected magnetic plasma containment, warp drives, jump gates, or antimatter in quantities and costs as presented in the game. Indeed antimatter's effect on hull impact, for that matter. Tractoring, inertial propulsion, warp and dampening, conduit-free power tranmission in the terawatt range, energy shields, and the absence of clathrates of metal (or other elements) in the real world. Perhaps a witchhunt for the creator of the cloaking field, the almighty and evil DrCCP, could appease you.
Instead, might I suggest you stop using a computer? Normally I'd suggest you go play Microsoft Hearts, but resetting your computer would probably constitute euthanasia, not to mention the reincarnatory implications, both of which would more than likely violate the bureaucratic sanctity of your bubble.
In short : lighten up dude, it's a game. Suspension of disbelief is an unlisted minimum requirement. If that's not your cup of tea, go do people's tax returns.

To the op, it is called vacuum packed. :)

Look at this
This is winner demo in 64 Kb category in one of previous Mekka simposiums (Demo scene)
And youl see what is real compresion.
Most of modern programers does not use optimisation at all.
Hint: when they tell you: "You may press ESC now..." wait,
and even more facts will be shown 
Woah!
Impressive!
I still watch Amiga and C64 demos occasionally and its amazing what they can do with some math tricks.

i've mined ore outside of the 10km range the lasers allow... omgeses.

DEWD! Where did you dig this up?? Saw a game like this once, compressed to 10Kb, but otherwise fully functioning, with different guns, sliding doors, health mods, the lot. Haven't been able to find it back.....

Clearly the cargo container was just strapped to the roof of the ship with bungee cords.
Don't get all fancy when the simple answer will do...
