Abstract Consider the problem of packing Hamming balls of a given relative radius subject to the constraint that they cover any point of the ambient Hamming space with multiplicity at most <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">L </tex-math></inline-formula>. For odd <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">L\ge 3 </tex-math></inline-formula>, an asymptotic upper bound on the rate of any such packing is proved. The resulting bound improves the best known bound (due to Blinovsky'1986) for rates below a certain threshold. The method is a superposition of the linear-programming idea of Ashikhmin, Barg, and Litsyn (that was previously used to improve the estimates of Blinovsky for <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">L=2 </tex-math></inline-formula>) and a Ramsey-theoretic technique of Blinovsky. As an application, it is shown that for all odd <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">L </tex-math></inline-formula>, the slope of the rate-radius tradeoff is zero at zero rate.
