Well, the /k/ in "pack" is just the same as that of "kill" in my
dialect, in terms of point of articulation. There's also a rule in
English that stipulates that when near a front vowel, /k/ is instantiated
as a palatal rather than a velar stop. This would leave such
back-voweled words as "code" with velar stops.
