There isn't direct support i Packer, in #578 there is a note "Note, this only adds support for AssociatePublicIpAddress, not Elastic IPs.". See https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/578#issuecomment-29267092
But this can still be done. You give the ec2 instance packer launches an Instance Role that allow it to associate the EIP with it and use a user script (cloud-init) to associate it with the EIP. Also in you packer template you have to use ssh_host to set the IP address of the EIP, see https://www.packer.io/docs/templates/communicator.html#ssh_host Hope that was clear enough. Please get back if you have any trouble get this working.
