Morphology

prepackaging = prepackage (transparent) = pre + package + ing

The noun is a regular -ing formation from the verb 'prepackage' and straightforwardly means the process or activity of doing it.

The word prepackaging comes from pre- meaning 'before' and pack meaning 'to put into a package'. Think of a factory filling and sealing boxes before they go to shops, so prepackaging is the process of packaging products ahead of sale.
