Connect With A Kitting Services ExpertThe process of kitting and assembly involves putting together bundles of specific items into packages that are ready to ship to retailers, distributors, or even directly to consumers. For example, electronics manufacturers who sell the same products internationally often need to include different power adapters for each market. Our kitting service ensures that packages containing the correct adapters are included in the final packaging before it moves on to the next point on its journey.
Not every company has the experience and capabilities to keep up with the demands of the modern marketplace. Outsourcing logistical tasks to a 3PL can deliver manage benefits. WSI has a nationwide distribution network to help clients achieve their order fulfillment goals. We are one of the largest privately held 3PL companies in the United States, and we strive to give each one of our customers complete reliability in everything we do for them.

Reduced costs created by more efficient use of labor and less waste
Greater accuracy in orders because of a lower risk of mistakes
Streamline the supply chain and fulfillment lifecycle
Faster fulfillment thanks to pre-assembly of kits
More flexibility to respond to market surges with higher effectiveness

Cartonization is a crucial but often-overlooked piece of any effective warehouse management system. Simply put, it’s the process of determining the best way to ship an item, from the correct carton size to packaging components.
Optimizing cartonization might seem simple, but it has massive upside when it comes to packaging and shipping efficiencies, minimizing the costs for packaging materials while increasing productivity and picking accuracy. Additionally, correct cartonization reduces the risk of damage during shipping, helping ensure that every package arrives safely.
