Abstract
A packing of subsets in a group is a sequence such that are disjoint subsets of . We give a formula for the number of packings if the group is finite and if the subsets satisfy a genericity condition. This formula can be seen as a generalization of the falling factorials which encode the number of packings in the case where all the sets are singletons.
