"Packet of Three" was the first release from the New Wave rock band Squeeze. It contained three songs produced by John Cale of The Velvet Underground, who also produced their self-titled debut LP the following year. "Packet of Three" was released in both 7" and 12" vinyl formats. The EP's title comes from the UK term for a standard package of condoms. The photo on the sleeve of the EP was taken outside a pub in Haddo street, Greenwich, SE London; close to the council flat at 35 Congers House, Bronze St, Deptford, where Chris Difford was staying at the time.

The three songs were re-released in 1990 on the Annie Get Your Gun (live) CD single (IRS 74007).
