HI,

yes, package can be used as a verb. "How to package books for a long journey"
It's the general word for any kind of wrapping or boxing packages for retail.

pack belongs with some things:
A pack of gum, a pack of cigarettes, a pack of cards

Packages often have an unknown content, like a gift for instance.

You said 'a pack belongs with somethings'. Can you please use a different word or phrase so as to clearify for me what you mean becuase I'm confused!

It means that pack is usually bound with other words like "a pack of cards". It's very common that the word "of" follows "pack". That's what I meant.
