One simple option is to compile a list of which frigates have the highest mineral requirements for each of the primary minerals. A pack that meets each these needs would be able to build any of the 25 standard tech one frigates. This is the idea behind the universal frigate pack and the following image displays the frigates that dictate it's contents.
Pyerite 15000 - Breacher
Mexallon 4444 - Tormentor
Isogen 1111 - Kestrel
Nocxium 133 - Rifter
Zydrine 44 - Imicus
Megacyte 12 - Crucifier
With the requirements of the mineral pack out of the way, we need to choose what parts to compress. Compressing the high end minerals is kind of pointless in these quantities, the three highest end ones take up less than 2m3 while the other four take up just under 455m3. While you can compress and reprocess ore with fairly minimal skills this guide is going to assume that anyone doing this will be willing to wait the few hours it takes to train Reprocessing to level 3. This will give you a refine rate of 54.5% at a basic station.
With reprocessing 3 we can exceed our mineral needs with a selection of three compressed ores. This selection takes the 455m3 down to just 30.4m3 taking up less than one tenth the space the raw minerals would. The compressed ores used in this selection bring the pack's total size down to 32.3m3 and it uses the following components.
16 compressed kernite
37 compressed plagioclase
115 compressed scordite.
133 nocxium
44 zydrine
12 megacyte
It is possible to save isk by leaving more minerals uncompressed however the savings are some what low and doing so can nearly triple the space it takes up.
To wrap things up while it's certainly possible to make packs that are more efficient in terms of isk and space they will be more limited. This guide has focused on making a simple mineral and ore pack that will allow you to build any of the 25 standard tech 1 frigates.
