prepack

Ready-made retail assortment

To prepack is to package goods before they reach the point of sale, rather than measuring or wrapping them at the counter: prepackaged lunch meats, prepacked salads.

The noun prepack refers to such a package or, in business contexts, a prearranged bankruptcy reorganization plan.
