A loose pack on slave ships referred to a method of transporting enslaved Africans with less crowding than the tight pack approach. In a loose pack, fewer individuals were crammed into the ship's hold, allowing for slightly more space and potentially improving conditions, such as air circulation and movement. This method aimed to reduce the risk of disease and death during the brutal voyage, although the conditions remained horrific and inhumane. Ultimately, both packing strategies reflected the dehumanizing nature of the transatlantic slave trade.
In tight pack or loose pack. Tight pack is where the slaves where layed on their side, and loose pack is where the slaves where layed on their back. The tight pack allowed more slaves to be on the ship but this caused more slaves to die as they were closer together and suffocated more.

A loose pack refers to items being packed with space in between, while a tight pack involves packing items closely together with minimal space left. A loose pack may result in items shifting during transport, while a tight pack can ensure items remain secure and protected.
