Chris Phillips has got 163 2x4's into a large container without deforming it:

Doug Eaton managed to get 292 lattice fences into a large PAB container:

Doug also mentioned in an email that he got 671 flower stems in a container.
And although I don't have a Pick-A-Brick nearby, I tested how many flowers,

There's a start for your records. :-)
Play well.
