overpack

Bring too much

To overpack is to pack more than necessary, typically for travel: I always overpack for vacations.

The word suggests bringing items you won't use or need.

As a noun, an overpack is a secondary container enclosing a primary package, especially for hazardous materials during shipping—providing an extra layer of protection or containment.
