You could use something like 'parcels' (maybe too close in meaning to
package) or 'containers' (maybe too long). Both would build on the idea
that you can have packages inside a parcel, or container — much like bag
probably does as well (as in santa clause's bag of presents/packages).
Either way, don't feel particularly strongly about this, so just a
suggestion :-)
