It should be part of the inventory. See below Extract of AS-2-
"3. The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:
3.1 Inventories are assets:
(a) held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
(b) in the process of production for such sale; or
(c) in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services
Packing materials get fit into either (b) or (c) above.
To the extent of usage, the expense is recognised and balance appears as 'Current Asset'.
Hope the above was useful.
