Etymology

The word 'repackage' comes from the prefix 're-', which means 'again' or 'back', and the word 'package', which originates from Middle English 'package', referring to a bundle or a container. The term gained popularity in the latter half of the 20th century with the rise of consumer goods and retail industries that emphasized attractive packaging as a means of marketing products effectively. As businesses sought to innovate and enhance their product presentations, the concept of repackaging became a strategic tool to refresh brand image, reduce waste, or adapt products for different market segments. The growth of e-commerce also fueled the need for effective repackaging to ensure products were safely delivered to consumers while maintaining an appealing aesthetic.
