Lacking packing? Not carried away we hear (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unwrapped

'lacking packing?' is the definition.

'not carried away we hear' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'carried away' becomes 'rapt' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'rapt' sounds like 'wrapped'.
'un'+'wrapped'='UNWRAPPED'

(Another definition for unwrapped that I've seen is " Deprived of covering".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
