rewrap

Envelop once more

To rewrap is to wrap something again, typically after it has been unwrapped or when the original wrapping is unsatisfactory: I had to rewrap the gift after the paper tore.

The word appears most often around gift-giving occasions or when repackaging items for storage or shipping.
