Retail Kitting Without the Operational Headache

Fulfillment Support

Retail programs often look straightforward on the planning deck.

• Combine several products into a gift set.

• Build a promotional bundle.

• Assemble a display.

• Create a multipack.

• Package an eCommerce kit.

Then execution begins.

Products may come from different suppliers. Packaging has to arrive on schedule. Components need to be assembled in the correct order. Inserts and labels have to match the program. Finished kits must be packed for the right channel and moved into fulfillment without creating another bottleneck.

That is where kitting with Veritiv becomes more than an assembly task.

For retailers, the real value of a kitting partner is the ability to simplify the work between program concept and retail-ready execution.


One Partner for the Entire Kitting Process

Retail teams already have plenty competing for their attention.

• Merchandising is managing the offer.

• Procurement is coordinating suppliers.

• Operations is thinking about inventory and execution.

• Marketing is protecting the customer-facing experience.

• eCommerce has another set of packaging and fulfillment requirements.

And the list goes on.

Managing multiple suppliers for packaging, assembly, labeling and fulfillment creates more handoffs and more opportunities for delays.

Veritiv gives retailers one partner to help coordinate the process.

We support:

• Seasonal and holiday kits

• Gift sets and promotional bundles

• Retail-ready displays

• Multipacks

• Sample programs

• eCommerce kits

• Private-label programs

• Packaging, assembly and fulfillment

Instead of coordinating each step separately, retailers can build a more connected workflow around the finished program.


Built Around the Channel

A store-ready multipack is not the same as a premium giftset shipping directly to a customer.

Neither should be handled the same way.

Veritiv can help build the kitting process around where the product is going and what it needs to look like when it gets there.

For retail, that may mean assembled displays, multipacks or promotional bundles prepared for distribution.

For eCommerce, it may mean branded packaging, inserts, protective materials and parcel-ready packout.

For premium retail programs, it may mean presentation that stays consistent from the merchandising concept through final assembly.

Different channel. Different requirements. One kitting partner.


Add Capacity Without Adding Internal Strain

Seasonal launches and promotional programs can create a large amount of temporary work, and internal teams still have to run the day-to-day business.

Veritiv can provide kitting and assembly support for those peaks without requiring retailers to build a temporary process around every new program.

That means less internal labor tied up in:

• Product assembly

• Bundling

• Packout

• Labeling

• Inserts

• Retail preparation

• Fulfillment preparation

Your team stays focused on the retail program. Veritiv helps handle the execution behind it.


Keep the Brand Experience Consistent

Premium retail does not stop at the product. Packaging, presentation, inserts and the way products are arranged all contribute to the customer experience.

Veritiv helps retailers carry those details through the kitting process.

Whether the final product is a holiday gift set, an eCommerce bundle or a retail-ready display, the goal is the same:

Get the right products together, packaged correctly and ready for the customer or channel.


From Program Idea to Retail-Ready

Kitting should make retail execution easier, not create another layer of complexity.

Veritiv helps connect the pieces between individual products and the finished program:

Products + Packaging + Assembly + Fulfillment = Retail-Ready

If your team is planning a seasonal kit, promotional bundle, multipack, display or eCommerce program, Veritiv can help turn the concept into a finished program ready to move.
