Print & Product Kitting and Assembly Services
Bring your printed pieces and third‑party products together—professionally assembled, retail‑ready, and shipped where you need them. We handle printing, co‑packing, labeling, and export logistics so you can launch faster and reduce costs. In addition to producing a full range of paper‑based items, we can receive your components from other suppliers and assemble complete kits for e‑commerce and retail rollouts. By finishing the kitting at our plant, you save on multiple shipments and local assembly labor—so your goods arrive ready to sell to end customers.
What We Assemble
We kit books, children’s board books, journals, manuals, card decks, calendars, board‑game components, paper boxes, and your customer‑supplied items (e.g., toys, markers, gadgets, accessories). Kits can be prepared for e‑commerce, Amazon FBA, Kickstarter/Indiegogo backers, retail displays, corporate gifts, and subscription boxes.
Who This Is For
If you’re bundling print with merchandise—or you just want one team to pull everything together and ship—it’s a perfect fit. We streamline complexity so your launch plan stays simple and on schedule.

- Board‑game and card‑game studios needing collation, inserts, and QC
- Brands building retail gift sets or POS displays

Why QinPrinting
Get printing and kitting under one roof for a faster, cleaner launch.
- Lower assembly cost – In‑factory kitting lowers labor cost vs. third‑party warehouses.
- Inbound QC for third‑party goods – We perform visual checks on customer‑supplied items (finish/labels/carton condition) before assembly to catch issues early.
- Save freight – Packaging is bulky; finishing assembly at our plant reduces total shipment volume and saves international shipping.
- Reduce 3PL surprises – Avoid mismatched counts when multiple suppliers ship separately to a warehouse. Kitting at source delivers complete, accurate quantities.
- Simplify operations – Fewer handoffs and fewer emails; faster launch and fewer errors.
- Print + pack in one workflow – Consistent color, dielines, inserts, labels, and outer cartons synchronized end‑to‑end.
Need compliance? We can apply UPC/EAN/FNSKU labels, age‑grading icons, warning stickers, and other retailer‑specific marks.
Outer Packaging Options (Quick Guide)
Choose based on use case, weight, and presentation—if you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the right structure.
- Corrugated Shipping Box – Best for parcels and heavier kits; stackable and protective. Ideal when the outer box is for mailing.
- Telescope Rigid Box – Two‑piece premium box for display/gifting; excellent unboxing.
- Magnetic Rigid Box – Luxury flip lid with hidden magnets; high‑end presentation.
- Folding Carton – Cost‑effective retail sleeve or inner carton for lighter items.
Rules of thumb
• If the outer box must ship by mail → pick corrugated.
• If you want a premium display → choose telescope or magnetic rigid.
• If the kit is heavy → use corrugated.
• If it’s an inner retail unit inside a shipper → rigid or folding carton according to budget.
Inserts & Protection
A well‑designed insert prevents damage in transit and delivers a tidy unboxing. We design inserts to each item’s weight, dimensions, and usage so the kit travels safely and looks great when opened.
Insert materials
• Paperboard or corrugated trays (cost‑effective, printable)
• EVA/foam for precise protection and a premium feel
• PET/blister and window patching for visibility
Unit protection
• Shrink wrap, poly sleeves/OPP bags
• Crinkle paper, corner protectors, desiccants
• Seals and tear strips on request
Kitting & Labeling
Beyond “putting things in a box,” we take care of the small but critical steps that keep goods moving through retail and fulfillment smoothly.
- Sorting and collation by theme/SKU/set size
- Barcode application (UPC/EAN/FNSKU), lot/date codes, and serials
- Retail stickers and promotional inserts (QR, coupons, instruction leaflets)
- Amazon FBA prep (bagging, suffocation labels, carton labels) and retailer‑specific labeling
Quality Assurance
Every kit is checked so it arrives right the first time. We align to your standards and can document each batch when needed.
- Count‑accuracy checks and weight spot checks
- Cosmetic standards for print and assembly (rub/scuff, alignment, glue, seam, corner, and edge checks)
- Drop/ship tests for retail‑ready sets on request
