jam-pack

Fill beyond capacity

Jam-pack means to fill something as tightly as possible, cramming in more than seems comfortable or advisable: The stadium was jam-packed with fans.

The word suggests compression—things squeezed together until no space remains.

Most often appears as the adjective jam-packed: a jam-packed schedule, jam-packed subway cars.
