Packaging & Kitting Services
Custom Packaging Solutions and Product Kitting Built to Scale Your Brand
How your products are packaged and presented defines the customer experience — and your brand’s reputation. Whether you’re entering new markets, scaling operations, or shipping direct-to-consumer, professional packaging and kitting are critical for success.
At McKenna Logistics Centres, we specialize in custom packaging services and product kitting solutions that ensure every shipment is organized, safe and accurately delivered.
Trust our team to help accelerate order fulfillment and deliver a consistent, memorable experience with every order.
What Are Packaging and Kitting Services?
Packaging and kitting services are more than just boxing up products — they’re essential to delivering a consistent, reliable experience to your customers or retail partners.
Packaging involves selecting the right materials and methods to protect your goods and ensure they arrive in perfect condition. On the other hand, kitting refers to grouping multiple, separate items into a single, ready-to-ship package tailored to each order.
Our Packaging and Kitting Process
At McKenna Logistics Centres, we manage the entire process from start to finish. Whether you’re shipping wholesale orders or handling eCommerce fulfillment, our packaging and kitting solutions ensure every shipment arrives exactly as expected.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Packaging Selection
We choose the right materials — boxes, cushioning, labels, and more — to protect your products and represent your brand.
2. Product Organization
Items are sorted and organized to match your specific kit configurations or retail requirements.
3. Kit Assembly
Multiple products are carefully assembled into complete kits, ensuring accuracy and consistency every time.
4. Quality Assurance
Every kit is checked against your specifications to ensure it’s correctly packed, securely sealed, and ready to ship.
5. Fast, Reliable Shipping
Kits are dispatched quickly to your customers, retail locations, or distribution centres, backed by real-time tracking and inventory updates.
