preprinted
Printed in advance
Preprinted describes something printed in advance, before its final use or distribution.
Preprinted forms have standard text already in place, with blank spaces for variable information to be added later.
Preprinted return labels come with packages.
The term appears in contexts where mass production precedes customization: preprinted stationery, preprinted tickets.
