contents We prove that if $α\in (0,1/2]$, then the packing dimension of a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ for which there exists a set of lines of dimension $1$ intersecting $E$ in dimension $\ge α$ is at least $1/2+α+c(α)$ for some $c(α)>0$. In particular, this holds for $α$-Furstenberg sets, that is, sets having intersection of Hausdorff dimension $\geα$ with at least one line in every direction. Together with an earlier result of T. Orponen, this provides an improvement for the packing dimension of $α$-Furstenberg sets over the "trivial" estimate for all values of $α\in (0,1)$. The proof extends to more general families of lines, and shows that the scales at which an $α$-Furstenberg set resembles a set of dimension close to $1/2+α$, if they exist, are rather sparse.
