Kitting & Assembly
Turn separate products into something worth more together
Kitting and assembly: what is the difference?
Kitting
Taking individual SKUs that already exist in stock and grouping them into a new sellable unit with its own SKU and barcode. A skincare 'starter trio', a three-pack of socks, or a gift box of four candles are all kits.
Assembly
Physical work on the product or its packaging before it can be sold: inserting a leaflet, attaching a swing tag, fitting a component, building a retail display box or putting a product into its final branded packaging. Many jobs involve both. We will look at your product and tell you which steps are needed, how long each takes and what it costs per unit.
What we assemble
- Gift sets and seasonal boxes
- Subscription boxes, including variants by customer segment
- Multipacks and value bundles
- Sample and discovery kits
- Influencer and PR mailers
- Retail-ready packs and shelf displays
- Promotional packs with inserts, vouchers or literature
- Re-labelling, re-boxing and rework of stock that arrives incorrectly packed
What we assemble
Pre-kitted
Kit at pack
Components are stored separately and combined when an order is picked. More flexible, no finished-kit stock tied up, and better suited to bundles that change often or have many variants.
Both are tracked in the same system, so stock of the kit and of each component stays accurate in your sales channels.
Why do it with your fulfilment partner
How a kitting job works
- You send us a build specification: components, quantities, packaging, inserts and any presentation requirements.
- We build a sample and photograph it for your sign-off.
- Components are booked in and the kit is created as a new SKU.
- Kits are built to your schedule, either as a batch or on demand.
- Finished kits are dispatched like any other order, or held in stock ready for sale.
