packed away
Stowed for later
Packed away describes putting something into storage, typically for an extended period.
You pack away winter clothes when spring arrives, or pack away holiday decorations after the season ends.
The phrase suggests items are placed in boxes, containers, or closets where they'll remain until needed again.
In a different sense, if someone packs away food, they eat large quantities of it: He can really pack away the pizza.
