Patricia Rosas
: excessive carries a negative connotation; perhaps just excess wrapping, which appears to mimic the original more closely?

Yes, your option is perfectly viable. However, using the term 'problema' already denotes something negative. I still think packaging is more appropriate.

outer wrapping
over wrapping....if we are talking about excessive wrapping
But in the context given, it has to be outer wrapping, one of the suggestions above, because it is talking about wrapping a group of containers to keep them together.
