A packing-coloring of a graph is a partition of into sets such that for each the distance between any two distinct is at least . The packing chromatic number, , of a graph is the minimum such that has a packing -coloring. Sloper showed that there are -regular graphs with arbitrarily large packing chromatic number. The question whether the packing chromatic number of subcubic graphs is bounded appears in several papers. We answer this question in the negative. Moreover, we show that for every fixed and , almost every -vertex cubic graph of girth at least has the packing chromatic number greater than .
