Wrap
Wrap is a phrase used by the director in the early days of the film industry to signal the end of filming. Nowadays, the call is more commonly "that's a wrap!" Films have used this since the 1920s when the filming was done and it just needed to go into post-production.
After principal photography is concluded, it is traditional to hold a wrap party, a party organized for the cast and crew of a film to celebrate the end of principal photography. This marks the end of the actors' collaboration (save from possible dubbing or pick-ups) on the film. They may be called in to promote the film when it is released.
After principal photography has ended, the film goes into post-production.
The term "wrap" is sometimes said to be an acronym for "Wind, Reel and Print", although this is disputed, and most likely a backronym
