Kitting and Assembly

Kits, bundles and retail-ready displays built to your spec in Nevada and Florida, lot coded where required, and received back into inventory as a single SKU.

Kits that pick as one SKU

Yes, we build kits, bundles and retail-ready displays in both facilities. Components are received, assembled to your spec, labeled with lot codes where required, and put back into sellable inventory as a single SKU. Recent jobs range from four-component subscription kits to a 2.2 million piece assembly run.

What is kitting?

Kitting is combining multiple separate items into one sellable unit before an order is placed. The kit gets its own SKU, its own barcode and its own place in inventory, so when the order comes in your team picks one thing instead of six.

Assembly is the related work that happens at the same station: light construction, poly-bagging, labeling, applying lot codes, inserting collateral.

How it works

  1. Send the kit spec: components, quantities, packaging, and any required sequence or orientation.
  2. Components are received and counted against the bill of materials. Shortages get flagged before the line is built, not during.
  3. We run a first-article build and send you photos for approval.
  4. Production run. Lot codes applied where required, finished kits counted and labeled with the kit SKU.
  5. Finished kits are received into inventory as their own SKU and become available to sell.
  6. Component and finished-goods inventory are both visible in the client portal.

What we build

  • Multipacks and variety packs. Mixed SKU cases assembled and labeled as a single unit.
  • Subscription boxes. Repeating monthly builds with changing components.
  • Retail-ready displays. Shelf-ready trays, counter displays and pre-packed shippers that go straight to the floor.
  • Influencer and PR kits. Small-run, high-touch builds where presentation matters more than throughput.
  • Poly-bagging and labeling. Individual unit bagging, barcode and compliance labeling, retail ticketing.
  • Light assembly. Component assembly that doesn't require manufacturing equipment.
  • Promotional inserts. Cards, samples, coupons and collateral added at the pack station or built into the kit.
  • Lot coding. Codes applied at assembly, tracked to the finished kit SKU.

Who this is for

  • Brands running subscription boxes.
  • CPG brands building retail-ready displays and multipacks.
  • Anyone shipping an influencer or PR kit.
  • Brands whose product arrives in components and ships as a finished good.
  • Beverage brands building variety packs, and everyone else who assumed this page was only for beverage brands.

If your product ships as more than one piece, we build it once, give it a SKU, and ship it like a single item.

Why brands kit with TCB Global

Finished kits pick as a single item

Every kit is received into inventory as its own SKU with its own barcode, so orders pick one unit instead of every component, and the kit stays traceable after assembly.

Built to scale

A recent run: 2.2 million pieces assembled, 15 pieces per box, 60 boxes per bag, with a lot code applied by gun at the station. Kitting scales when the count structure is defined up front and the station is built around it.

Priced by touches, not looks

Pricing is per unit and driven by touch count. Every added component and sequencing rule adds a touch, so removing one unnecessary insert from a kit spec often saves more than negotiating the rate.

Built close to where it ships

Kitting and assembly run in both Nevada and Florida. Building kits at the facility closest to where they ship shortens the outbound leg, which for retail display programs often matters more than the assembly rate itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you apply lot codes during assembly?

Yes. Lot codes are applied at the station, commonly by gun, and tracked to the finished kit SKU so the kit stays traceable after assembly.

Can you assemble kits with components from different suppliers?

Yes. Components are received separately and counted against the bill of materials. If one supplier is short, you hear about it before the run starts rather than after.

Does the finished kit get its own SKU?

Yes. The kit is received into inventory as a distinct sellable SKU with its own barcode, which is what makes it pickable as a single unit.

Can you build retail-ready displays that ship straight to store shelves?

Yes. Shelf-ready trays, counter displays and pre-packed shippers are assembled, labeled and routed to retail locations, including at multi-store scale.

How is kitting priced?

Per unit, driven by touch count: how many components each kit has, how many touches each unit takes, and whether the build requires a fixed sequence. Quotes are itemized after we review your bill of materials and target volume.

Can kits feed both Amazon and my own store?

Yes. Kitted SKUs are inventoried once and can ship through Amazon prep, DTC, wholesale, retail or event channels.
