`parcel' and `package'

A parcel or package is an object or group of objects wrapped in paper that can be carried somewhere or sent by post. There is very little difference in meaning between these two words. A parcel usually has a more regular shape than a package. In American English, package is more common than parcel.

    International charities sent parcels of food and clothes to the refugees.

`packet'

A packet is a small container in which a quantity of something is sold. Packets are either small boxes made of thin cardboard, or bags or envelopes made of paper or plastic.

In American English, containers like these are usually called packages or packs.

You can use a packet of or a package of to refer either to a packet or package and its contents, or to the contents only.
