Kitting, Subscription Boxes & Assembly — Built by Hand in San Diego

Ten components, a branded insert, tissue, a sticker, and it has to look like a gift when it opens. That’s a Tuesday here.

What we build

  • Subscription boxes — monthly builds to a spec sheet, sealed and shipped or palletized back to you.
  • Gift sets & holiday bundles — wine-and-goods combos included; we’re licensed for compliant alcohol handling, so mixed kits with a bottle in them don’t scare us.
  • Retail & influencer kits — PR mailers, launch kits, event boxes.
  • Multi-SKU bundles for ecommerce — virtual-bundle SKUs built ahead of a promo so launch day is a pick, not a project.
  • Re-work — wrong labels, new inserts, repack from bulk. The unglamorous jobs big 3PLs quote high to avoid; we just quote them.

How pricing works here

We run a short time study on your actual kit — build five, time it, spec the line — and quote you a per-unit price from that. You approve the number before production starts, and it doesn’t drift. Simple kits price like simple kits; fiddly ones price like what they are. No hourly black box. More on structure: how pricing works.

Why a small shop wins at kitting

Kitting is judgment work: crooked labels, crushed tissue, a missing insert — machines and minimum-wage-churn lines miss what a small crew catches. The same handful of people build your whole run, so unit #400 looks like unit #4.

In, built, out

Kitting here doesn’t require storing here. Freight in, build, freight out — days later the project is gone (that’s our in-and-out muscle). If you also want us to ship the kits DTC, that’s ecommerce fulfillment, one door down.
