Drummond experience reimagined

CAPABILITIES

Kitting + Fulfillment

For marketing and operations teams, kitting turns a logistics problem into a single line item. One partner holds the inventory, assembles on demand, and ships to wherever it needs to go.

What is kitting and fulfillment?

Kitting and fulfillment is the assembly of multiple individual components into a single ready-to-ship package, followed by storage, pick-and-pack and distribution to the end recipient. Instead of shipping parts separately and asking someone downstream to assemble them, a kitting partner builds the finished unit — welcome kit, sales kit, sample pack, onboarding box — and ships it complete.

Capabilities

Kit assembly

Multi-component assembly combining printed materials, promotional items, samples, packaging and collateral into a finished kit, built to a documented specification so every unit is identical.

Print fulfillment services

Warehousing of printed inventory with on-demand pick, pack and ship. Print once at an economical quantity, then release in the quantities actually needed, rather than shipping an entire run to a location that has nowhere to store it.

Pick, pack and ship

Order-driven fulfillment to any destination — field offices, retail locations, franchisees, event venues, individual employees or customers — domestic and international.

Inventory management and reporting

Real-time visibility into stock levels, usage rates and reorder points, so materials are reordered before they run out and obsolete inventory is identified before it is reprinted.

On-demand ordering

Paired with our Wavelength storefront, distributed teams order what they need from an approved catalog, and fulfillment happens automatically — with brand control and budget visibility intact.

Common applications

  • New-hire onboarding kits
  • Sales enablement and channel partner kits
  • Retail store reset and merchandising kits
  • Event and trade show materials
  • Sample and product launch packs
  • New customer welcome packages
  • Franchise and multi-location marketing kits

Why outsource kitting

Assembly done in-house consumes staff hours that were budgeted for something else, and it consumes floor space that usually is not free. It also tends to be invisible in cost accounting — the labor is absorbed rather than tracked, so nobody realizes what the kit actually costs to build.

Outsourced kitting makes the cost explicit and usually lower, scales without hiring, and consolidates print, assembly, storage and shipping under one accountable partner instead of coordinating three.

Kitting and fulfillment FAQs

What is the difference between kitting and fulfillment?

Kitting is the assembly step — combining separate components into one finished unit. Fulfillment is the storage, picking, packing and shipping of that unit to its destination. Most programs need both: the kit is assembled, held in inventory, then shipped as orders come in.

What is a minimum order for kitting services?

It depends on the complexity of the kit and the components involved rather than a fixed unit count. Simple two- or three-piece kits are economical at modest volumes; complex multi-component kits with custom packaging benefit from larger runs. We scope this per program.

Can you store our printed inventory?

Yes. Warehousing with on-demand pick and pack is a core part of print fulfillment. It lets you print at an efficient quantity and release stock as needed, instead of pushing an entire print run out to locations that cannot store it.

How does kitting work with a web-to-print storefront?

The storefront is the ordering layer and kitting is the fulfillment layer. Approved users order from a controlled catalog, the order routes to fulfillment, and the kit ships — with brand control on the front end and inventory visibility on the back end.

Can you ship internationally?

Yes, including the documentation and customs paperwork international shipments require.
