shrink-wrap
Tight packaging film
Shrink-wrap is thin plastic film that, when heated, shrinks tightly around whatever it covers—protecting products during shipping or sealing items for retail sale.
As a verb, to shrink-wrap is to encase something in this material: The warehouse shrink-wrapped the pallets before loading.
Figuratively, shrink-wrapped can suggest something packaged too neatly or uniformly: shrink-wrapped corporate solutions.
