unpackage
Open the packaging
To unpackage is to remove something from its packaging—unwrapping a product, opening a box, or extracting contents from protective materials.
The word functions as a slightly more formal or specific alternative to unpack, emphasizing the removal of packaging rather than the broader act of unpacking luggage or settling in: I unpackaged the new printer and set it up.
