There is this school project on efficiency in packing but i can't actually find any good data .

The main idea is the amount of goods that can be fixed in a place but i want it in just 2 dimentions. It has to be related to area and not to volume as that becomes too complex.

Any help in understanding this topic is welcome.

It depends on what basic outline you want to use. As in, do you want to pack circles in a square or rectangles or triangles etc. The 3D problem has been studied to a large extent in chemistry. Look up packing efficiencies of lattice networks.
