mispackaged
Incorrectly boxed up
Mispackaged describes something packaged incorrectly—wrong container, wrong label, wrong quantity, or wrong product entirely.
The term appears most often in manufacturing, shipping, and retail contexts: The recall affected mispackaged medications with incorrect dosage information.
Food safety alerts frequently cite mispackaged items containing undeclared allergens.
