In today’s fast-paced printing and packaging industry, businesses need more than just high-quality printing—they need efficient, reliable, and scalable kit packing and hand assembly services. Commercial and digital format printers often partner with specialized providers to streamline fulfillment, reduce labor costs, and ensure every order is assembled with accuracy and care.
At ArcWorks, we help printing companies and manufacturers deliver complete, ready-to-ship solutions through our kit packing, hand assembly, and fulfillment services.
What is Kit Packing in the Printing Industry?
Kit packing is the process of assembling multiple printed materials or products into a single, organized package that is ready for shipment or distribution. For commercial and digital printers, this often includes:
- Marketing collateral kits (brochures, catalogs, flyers, and branded merchandise)
- Trade show or event packages (signage, promotional giveaways, literature)
- Retail display kits (POP displays, labels, inserts, and product samples)
- Training or educational packets (manuals, guides, binders, and reference cards)
By outsourcing kit packing, printers save valuable production time while ensuring materials arrive correctly and professionally presented.
Hand Assembly Work Printers Often Need
While automation handles much of modern printing, hand assembly remains a critical step for projects requiring precision and a personal touch. Common examples include:
- Assembling custom display pieces for retail environments
- Collating and inserting materials into binders, folders, or boxes
- Applying specialty labels, tabs, or inserts that require manual placement
- Folding, packaging, and boxing printed products for distribution
Handling short-run or complex projects that machines cannot process efficiently
