What does kitting for Amazon products cost?

Assembly runs at $0.75 per finished unit, the same flat rate as the rest of our prep. A bundle of three items is one finished unit, not three. There is no monthly minimum and no setup fee for a new kit.

Do bundles need their own FNSKU?

Yes. A multipack or bundle is a distinct sellable unit and needs its own FNSKU applied to the outer packaging, with the component barcodes covered or removed. We handle both as part of assembly.

Can you assemble variety packs from different suppliers?

Yes. Components can arrive from different suppliers and different countries at different times. We receive and hold each one, then assemble once all parts are on the floor.

How fast is turnaround on a kitting run?

Standard prep SLA is 48 hours from dock to FBA-ready. Large or complex first runs are scheduled and quoted up front so you get a real date rather than an optimistic one.

Do you supply the bundle packaging?

We can source poly bags, shrink film, boxes and inserts, or work with packaging you send in. For branded sleeves and printed inserts most sellers ship them to us with the components.

Can you do inserts and thank-you cards?

Yes, inserts go in during assembly at no extra per-unit charge beyond the standard rate. Note that Amazon prohibits inserts that solicit positive reviews or redirect buyers off Amazon.

It is when it creates a listing competitors cannot price-match directly, raises average order value, or turns slow components into a sellable set. It is not worth it purely to look different, because every extra assembly step is cost.

What we assemble

Kits we build every week

If it can be assembled by hand to a written spec and sealed to a consistent standard, it runs on our floor.

Multipacks

Packs of two, three, six or twelve of the same SKU, shrink wrapped or bagged, with a single FNSKU on the outer and component barcodes covered.

Variety bundles

Different SKUs combined into one listing. Components can arrive separately from different suppliers; we hold them until the set is complete, then assemble.

Branded gift sets

Sleeves, boxes, tissue and ribbon assembled to a spec sheet, for seasonal listings and higher average order value.

Insert packs

Manuals, care cards and thank-you cards added during assembly at no extra per-unit cost, within Amazon's insert rules.

Poly bagging and labeling

Suffocation warnings, bagging to size, FNSKU application and carton compliance handled in the same pass.

Rework and relabeling

Fixing a wrong barcode, replacing damaged outers, or converting existing single units into bundles without shipping stock back to India.

Why sellers bundle

A bundle is a listing competitors cannot copy on price

The strongest reason to kit is competitive, not operational. A unique multipack or variety set is its own ASIN. Nobody else is on that listing, so there is no Buy Box to lose and no race to the bottom on a shared detail page.

The second reason is margin. A three-pack usually carries a higher average order value and a lower fulfillment cost per item than three separate orders, which is why bundles often survive fee increases that kill single-unit listings.

“Every assembly step is a real cost. Bundle because it creates a listing you own, or because the maths on AOV works. Not because it looks different.”

The honest caveat: kitting adds a step, and a step you pay for on every unit. If a bundle does not either protect you from price competition or raise AOV enough to cover the assembly, sell the single unit instead.

How a kitting run works

From spec sheet to FBA-ready cartons

You send the spec

What goes in a kit, in what quantity, in what packaging, and what the finished unit should look like. Photos beat descriptions. We confirm the per-unit price before anything is assembled.

Components arrive and are counted

Parts can land from different suppliers on different dates. Each is received, counted and photographed, so a shortage is caught before assembly rather than halfway through a run.

A first-article sample is approved

We build one, photograph it, and get your sign-off before running the batch. This is the step that prevents a thousand units of the wrong thing.

Batch assembly and labeling

The run is assembled to the approved sample, bagged where required, and the bundle FNSKU applied with component barcodes covered.

Into FBA or held as buffer

Finished kits go into an FBA shipment to Amazon carton spec, or stay in storage at $0.50 per cubic foot and drip-feed in as they sell. See FBA prep and US fulfillment.

Get your bundle priced

Send the spec and quantities. We come back with a per-unit price and a realistic first-run date.
