Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, where $n$ is even, we consider the following question: How many plane perfect matchings can be packed into $P$? For points in general position we prove the lower bound of &#x230A;log<sub>2</sub>$n$&#x230B;$-1$. For some special configurations of point sets, we give the exact answer. We also consider some restricted variants of this problem.
