It would be of great help if it was possible to set the Package as an action Type in the automation Rules.
There is a "Set carrier/Service/Package" and there is a "Set Package Dimensions"... However, there is not a Set Package.

You could try creating an "order filter" for a "package" and then set up an automation rule for "Orders matching an existing filter." What do you think?
