Kitting & Fulfillment Service

Kitting and fulfillment services assemble multiple products into kits, gift sets, promotional packages, and subscription boxes for brands and businesses.

With subscription boxes worth $20+ billion and businesses using kits for promotions and gifting, kitting services generate revenue of $130,000-$400,000 annually with profit margins of 35-50% through per-kit assembly fees and monthly contracts.

The business requires warehouse space, packing tables, materials (boxes, tissue, inserts), and staff for assembly.

Services include product kitting, custom packaging, gift wrapping, promotional package assembly, subscription box preparation, and sometimes fulfillment.

Pricing typically $2-$15 per kit depending on complexity.

Success factors include accuracy (correct items in each kit), presentation quality for gift sets, efficiency to keep costs competitive, and flexibility for various kit configurations.

Common clients include corporate gift companies, subscription box brands, promotional product distributors, and event planners.

Many services specialize in specific types like corporate gifts, retail gift sets, or subscription boxes.

The business can handle overflow kitting for busy seasons or ongoing contracts.

Marketing focuses on demonstrating assembly quality, turnaround time, and cost savings versus in-house kitting.

With gifting and subscription services continuing strong in 2025, kitting services offer accessible entry for entrepreneurs who can provide quality assembly and attractive packaging that enhances product presentation.
