"Autant vous dire que nous avons tout remballé"

"Autant vous dire que nous avons tout remballé"

Trying to get my head round why it's "tout" and not "tous".     

 I suppose with tout it means "we were all packed up" in the sense of "we were completely packed up". But couldn't it be tous, meaning "we were all packed up" in the sense of "all of us were packed up"....?

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "An eventful picnic"

I haven’t done the exercise, but doesn’t it mean we packed up everything ie invariable tout? I think the s would be audible in the case of “tous”.  

 Edit: lesson on tout etc Tout/tous/toute/toutes = Everything/all (of them)/whole/completely in French
