Kitting & Light Assembly Services for Manufacturers, Brands, and eCommerce
What is Kitting (and Why It Matters)?
Kitting is the process of grouping multiple parts/SKUs into one ready-to-use bundle that moves through production or fulfillment as a single unit. Instead of picking ten items every time, your team picks one pre-built kit—cutting touches, shortening lead times, and improving accuracy.
Where it’s used
- Manufacturing: sub-assemblies, ready-to-assemble (RTA) packs
- Commercial/eCommerce: gift sets, subscription boxes, retail value packs
- Field service & MRO: install/repair kits with tools, fasteners, and documentation
Core benefits
- Fewer picks & touches → lower laber cost
- Pre-staged kits → shorter lead times
- One parent SKU per kit → cleaner inventory
- Standardized packaging & QC → fewer mis-packs and returns

- Finished-goods & release – Kits staged for fulfillment with reporting on completions and accuracy.
- Ship – B2B, retail, or DTC via your carrier rules or our 3PL workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between kitting and assembly?
Kitting groups discrete SKUs into one packaged unit; assembly can include sub-assembly steps before packaging (e.g., partial build of a component or display)
Can you store our parts and finished kits?
Yes. ArcWorks offers secure warehouse storage for inbound components and completed kits.
Do you support Amazon FBA requirements?
Yes. We handle inspection, labeling, bundling, and packaging to align with FBA rules—reducing delays and penalties.
Can ArcWorks also label and package our kits?
Yes. Labeling/stickering and contract packaging are in-house, which keeps timelines tight and reduces handoffs.
Do you build POP displays and pack them for retail?
Yes. We assemble POP displays, kit contents, and ship nationwide with secure, retail-ready packaging.
