overpacked
Suitcase bursting shut
Overpacked describes luggage or containers filled with more than they can comfortably hold: My suitcase was so overpacked I could barely zip it.
It also applies to people who brought too much: We were overpacked for a weekend trip.
The word suggests excess baggage, inefficient preparation, or anxiety about being caught without something needed.
