Abstract
We consider the following generalization of graph packing. Let and be graphs of order and a bipartite graph. A bijection from onto is a list packing of the triple if implies and for all . We extend the classical results of Sauer and Spencer and Bollob\'{a}s and Eldridge on packing of graphs with small sizes or maximum degrees to the setting of list packing. In particular, we extend the well-known Bollob\'{a}s--Eldridge Theorem, proving that if , and , then either packs or is one of 7 possible exceptions. Hopefully, the concept of list packing will help to solve some problems on ordinary graph packing, as the concept of list coloring did for ordinary coloring.
