I have packed everything. vs I have packed up everything.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I have packed everything' is a simple statement indicating that all items have been packed. 'I have packed up everything' includes the preposition 'up,' which adds emphasis to the completion of the packing process. The addition of 'up' is more common in informal speech.
