Kitting & Assembly
Custom Kitting & Assembly Solutions
Every extra item in a package is another chance for an error, and doing it in-house eats your team’s time. PSI has been kitting and assembling products for brands since 1986, combining your components into ready-to-ship kits that are accurate, consistent, and cost-effective. From subscription boxes and gift sets to component assembly and retail displays, we handle the touch-heavy work so your kits ship fast and look professional every time.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Our kitting and assembly services turn loose components into finished, ready-to-ship products, all handled at our Atlanta warehouse with second-person verification for accuracy. Our pricing model is simple and cost-effective, whether your job is small or large.
Custom Kitting and Bundling
We combine multiple items into a single, ready-to-ship kit or bundle with its own SKU, so you can sell sets, gift boxes, and promotions as one product. Kits can be pre-built ahead of demand or assembled on demand as orders come in.
Assembly and Light Manufacturing
We assemble raw materials and components into finished goods, add or remove items from existing products, and construct boxes and packages, giving you a finished, professional-quality product ready for your customers.
Finishing, Shrink-Wrap and Labeling
Ask about our shrink-wrap, heat sealing, and label and sticker application. We finish and package your kits the way you want them presented, and we can ship your finished products nationwide at competitive, rate-shopped pricing.

- Subscription boxes and gift sets assembled and packed for a consistent, on-brand unboxing.

Kitting and Assembly Services FAQs
What is kitting and assembly?
Kitting and assembly is the process of combining multiple individual items into a single, readyto-ship package with its own SKU. Assembly can also include building finished goods from components. It streamlines fulfillment, reduces handling, and lets you sell bundles and sets as one product.
What is the difference between kitting and bundling?
Kitting usually means pre-assembling products into a set ahead of demand, so the kit is ready to ship the moment an order comes in. Bundling often happens at the time of the order. We can do both, depending on what works best for your product and volume.
What kinds of kits can you build?
Subscription boxes, gift sets, product bundles, promotional and launch kits, marketing and media kits, retail-ready sets, and assembled finished goods from components. We also handle repackaging and de-kitting.
Do you build kits ahead of time or on demand?
Both. We can pre-build kits so they are stocked and ready to ship, or assemble them on demand as orders arrive, whichever is more efficient for your program.
How is kitting and assembly priced?
Our pricing is simple and cost-effective, based on the work your kits require. A free fulfillment cost analysis will show you exactly what your kitting would cost.
Can you kit my subscription boxes and ship them too?
Yes. We kit and assemble your boxes and fulfill them from the same warehouse, so your subscription program runs as one smooth operation. See our subscription and batch fulfillment service for more.
