Words that rhyme with Package
Package: two-syllable, a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, vowel sitting on the rising /eɪ/, ending that lands on a stopped consonant. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well is bottomless. Sketch the lyric role and you get a word everyone uses. Reach for assonance first; the strict list is the safety net underneath it.

Why package rhymes the way it does
Package sits on the long /eɪ/, transcribed /a/ in our engine, and snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 6,673, and consonance 9. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Package pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
