Kitting and Light Assembly Fulfillment Services

Kitting is the process of assembling separate related products into a package, or “kit“. A kit can made for use by a consumer, for retail stores, or for promotional uses. Coast to Coast Fulfillment is a kitting specialist, based in the east coast of the USA.

One example of a kit would be a combination of an electronics device, its remote control, an AC/DC power supply, and an instruction booklet. Each of these four components might come from a different supplier, but could be assembled into a kit in the USA at Coast to Coast Fulfillment. Another kit example might be a retail countertop display in which the display’s components would be assembled before the merchandise is inserted to complete the kit.

Kits are often preassembled identical packages of merchandise, but kits can also be one-offs, such as a computer and its peripherals customized to a single consumer’s specifications, or a package of merchandise that is picked and packed for to match the needs of an individual retail store.

At our New England warehouse, we assemble many types of kits, including:

pre-loaded retail display kits
electronics kits
membership kits
promotional & sales material kits
health & beauty product kits
retail package kits
presorted wholesale package kits

Our fulfillment services include both pre-assembly kitting and on-demand assembly of kits. We then can ship the kits anywhere in the world, whether direct to consumers (B2C), or to distributors and other businesses (B2B). Just-in-time (JIT) kitting has the advantage of allowing maximum flexibility in the use of inventory, while pre-assembly allows for the cost-saving efficiencies and accuracies of mass-assembly. Some of specific kitting services include:
