Kitting
Kitting is assembling multiple SKUs into one ready-to-ship unit, such as a gift set or subscription box, before orders arrive.
Why it matters for ecommerce brands
Pre-built kits speed up peak-season packing. 3PLs usually bill kitting as a separate per-unit or hourly service.
Common questions
- What is the difference between kitting and bundling?
- The terms are often used loosely. Kitting usually means physically assembling items into one unit ahead of orders, while bundling can also mean selling items together as one listing and picking them separately at order time.
