boxed up

Sealed in cardboard

Boxed up means packed into boxes, typically for moving, storage, or shipping: We got everything boxed up before the movers arrived.

It can also describe something confined or trapped: I felt boxed up in that tiny apartment.

The phrase suggests completion—things are contained, sealed, ready to go or put away.
