shrink-wrapped
Sealed in plastic
Shrink-wrapped describes something sealed in plastic film that has been heated to contract tightly around the product.
Software, books, and consumer goods often come shrink-wrapped for protection and tamper evidence: The shrink-wrapped box sat unopened on his desk.
Figuratively, shrink-wrapped can suggest something generic or ready-made rather than customized: shrink-wrapped solutions that don't fit anyone's actual needs.
