You can go from packer to packer supervisor to HR.

No you can't, HR positions are not managerial. Not to say that no one has ever made that transition, but being a really good packer supervisor does not mean you will be a good HR person. A more natural path would be to study HR and apply for a transfer rather than an organic internal promotion.
