Product assembly
Bring the specified product and packaging elements together in the required sequence.
Hand packing & kitting
Detailed packing work, clearly organised.
Bring products, inserts and packaging components together through manual packing services or a kitting process built from your specification.
A clear answer
What is hand packing and kitting?
Hand packing uses a planned manual process to place, assemble or finish products and packaging components. Kitting brings a defined group of items together as one set.
These approaches can suit projects with multiple components, careful placement, pack variations, inserts, sets or a presentation sequence that needs close attention.
A clear bill of materials and finished-pack reference help translate the brief into repeatable production steps. Stockholm reviews each requirement against the product, quantity, components and timing.
Project scope
Manual packing support for multi-part briefs.
Start with the outcome you need. The following project types can form part of the scope conversation.
Kitting services
Collate a defined list of items into a complete kit ready for its next stage.
Inserts & literature
Add leaflets, instructions or other supplied inserts in the agreed position.
Multipacks & sets
Combine products or variants into a specified multi-item format.
Cartoning & case packing
Place assembled units into the specified carton or case configuration for onward handover.
Product collation
Bring defined products, variants and supplied components together with the relevant quantity controls.
Every requirement is assessed individually. Contact Stockholm to confirm the practical fit for your product, pack and timing.
Plan the conversation
Build a kitting brief the team can assess.
The more clearly the finished unit is described, the easier it is to identify missing information and plan the next step.
- 01
List every component
Provide product names, quantities per pack and any inserts, labels or packaging parts.
- 02
Show the finished format
Share an approved reference, diagram or written description of the required presentation.
- 03
Separate the variants
Identify different kits, versions or batches and the quantity required for each one.
- 04
Set the target window
Include component availability, the required completion date and onward arrangements.

What are hand packing services?+
Hand packing services use a defined manual process to combine products, packaging components, inserts or labels. They are useful when a brief needs careful placement, multiple components, variants or work that is not suited to a standard automated sequence.
What is kitting and assembly?+
Kitting is the collation of specified items into one set or pack. Assembly describes the steps used to bring those items and their packaging together. The bill of materials, sequence, presentation and checks should all be agreed in the project scope.
Can hand packing be used for multipacks or promotional sets?+
Multipacks, promotional sets and other multi-component formats are common reasons to discuss hand packing. Stockholm will need the exact components, quantity, layout, instructions and timing to confirm project fit.
What should a kitting brief include?+
Provide the list of components, finished-pack reference, quantities, variants, packing sequence, presentation requirements and target date. Flag any components or decisions that are not yet final.
