box up
Prepare for shipping
To box up is to pack things into boxes, typically for moving, storage, or shipping: We spent the weekend boxing up the apartment.
It suggests gathering scattered items into organized containers.
Figuratively, to box something up can mean to compartmentalize or contain emotions: He boxed up his grief and went back to work.
