Morphology

prepack = prepack (semi-transparent) = pre + pack

The noun is formed by conversion from the verb 'prepack', but the specific count-noun sense 'a prepacked item or set' is somewhat specialized.

Etymology

Prepack is made from the parts pre- ('before') and pack ('put together or wrap'). So a prepack is something already packed 'before' it goes to the shop, which makes stocking shelves faster.
