Kitting is the process of assembling multiple individual SKUs into a single sellable unit (a kit or bundle). YouParcel supports both pre-kitting (assembly before orders arrive) and on-demand kitting (assembly per order).

Pre-Kitting

Pre-kitting involves assembling kits in advance and storing the assembled units as a distinct SKU. This is ideal when you have consistent, high-volume bundles and want the fastest possible pick and pack time per order.

To request pre-kitting, provide:

• Parent/kit SKU code and name.
• Component SKUs and quantities per kit.
• Packaging instructions (box type, inserts, branding elements).
• Desired quantity to assemble in the first run.

On-Demand Kitting (Virtual Kits)

With virtual kits, the system picks the individual components for each order and packs them together at the time of shipment. No pre-assembled inventory is held. This is useful for limited-edition or variable bundles.

Kitting Fees

Kitting labor is billed per unit assembled. Your account manager will provide a kitting rate based on the complexity of the assembly. Complex kits (more than 5 components, custom inserts, or individual labeling requirements) are quoted separately.

Subscription Box Kitting

Subscription box fulfillment often involves large kitting runs for monthly or quarterly boxes. YouParcel has extensive experience managing subscription box operations. Contact your account manager to plan your next box launch.
