Etymology
The term 'prepackaging' emerged in the late 20th century and reflects the growing trend in consumerism for convenience and efficiency. Prepackaging became especially relevant with the rise of supermarkets and convenience stores, which required products to be ready-made for immediate sale. Its roots can be traced back to earlier packaging practices, where goods would be bottled or canned for preservation. Over time, the evolution of materials and technology, such as plastic and vacuum sealing, has influenced the methods used in prepackaging. It signifies a shift in both marketing strategies and consumer habits, where quick access to products has become a priority.
