Kitting and Custom Gift Boxes

Kitting is the part of a packaging project that people underestimate. Printing a box is a manufacturing problem with one supplier. Kitting is a coordination problem with several: the box comes from one factory, the printed product from another, the insert or ribbon or card from a third, and every one of them has to arrive at the same place, in the right quantity, at the same time.

This piece covers the situations where that comes up - presentation packaging for a printed planner or journal, branded mailer boxes, and employee or client gift sets. In each case the deliverable is not a box, it is a finished assembled unit ready to ship to an end customer. We can provide boxes but we don't kit for subscription programs.

MCRL handles that coordination: sourcing the right suppliers, managing across multiple factories, and delivering a box that arrives complete. The framing in the video is the honest one - you do not have to know it all, you just need a printing partner you can rely on. MCRL Overseas Group has been doing this for publishers and brands for years, and the value is less in any individual component than in the fact that one party is accountable when a component is late.
