repackagers
Product container changers
Repackagers are those who take existing products, content, or materials and present them in new form or packaging.
The term applies across industries: pharmaceutical companies that repackage drugs into different dosages, media outlets that repackage news from other sources, or retailers that bundle products together.
The word often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting lack of originality: They're just repackagers of other people's ideas.
