What Is Kitting and Fulfillment?

Kitting involves assembling various individual items into a single package or “kit.” This can include products, marketing materials, and custom fillers. For example, a welcome kit for new employees might include branded merchandise such as pens, notebooks, water bottles, and a company t-shirt, all packaged together in a branded box.

Fulfillment refers to the process of storing, processing, and shipping these kits or individual promotional products to the desired recipients. This includes managing inventory, packing orders, and handling the logistics of delivery. Fulfillment ensures that the right products are delivered to the right place at the right time.

Together, kitting and fulfillment services enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of distributing branded merchandise, ensuring every package is professionally assembled and promptly delivered. By leveraging these services, companies can streamline promotional product distribution, improve inventory management, and create a memorable unboxing experience for their customers and employees. This seamless, hassle-free process results in a more impactful experience for recipients.
