boxing up
Preparing for storage
Boxing up is the act of placing items into boxes, typically for storage, moving, or shipping.
The phrase often carries connotations of transition or ending: We spent the weekend boxing up Dad's things after the funeral.
It can suggest compartmentalization: She's good at boxing up her emotions and moving on.
