KITTING AND ASSEMBLY

KITTING AND ASSEMBLY SERVICES

HBI offers kitting and assembly as either part of a larger manufacturing project, or, as an independent project through our 3PL Solutions. The following categories fall into our Kitting and Assembly program:

1) Often times clients need help with just a small part of their overall project. This could include a small tag that needs to be sewn onto a larger part of a product. Or, a leather strap that needs to be die cut and attached to another part of a product. In some cases, we will move on to complete the overall assembly of the product. In other cases, we will simply return the specific part we completed to be finished at another location.

2) We also offer traditional 3PL kitting and assembly. This includes combining more than one piece that results in a completed unit. An example of this would be inserting a Field Notes notebook in to a leather Field Notes carrier. Or adding a wine corkscrew to a leather corkscrew holster. The result is one selling unit.

3) Finally, HBI offers assembly. In this case, we combine products to create a complete shipment, or collection of goods. An example of this includes filling a weekender bag with the appropriate items to complete a larger offering (dopp kit, passport carrier, etc.). Or filling a market tote with products specific to the needs of day tripper (sunglass case, wallet, etc.). These jobs often fall in the category of promotions. Assembling subscription boxes would be another example of this service. For example, let’s say you manage a men’s subscription box company, or a hunting box subscription box company— HBI can take the inbound shipments of goods, compile them into the boxes, and then in turn fulfill orders to your customers. This saves you time, space, and money.

It’s important to know that no two jobs are alike. Bring us your repetitive task and we’ll find a way to complete it— both efficiently, and within budget.
