The short answer
What does this service do?
Hand packing is a manual production service for work that needs care, flexibility or multiple components. Kitting—also called collation or pack assembly—brings specified items together into one finished pack. Stockholm Ltd supports UK businesses with brief-led hand packing and kitting for launches, promotions, presentation packs and repeat requirements.
Where it fits
When hand packing is the right route
Manual assembly is useful when the work changes between runs, presentation matters or the pack contains components that must be brought together in a specific way.
- 01Multi-component product kits and matched sets
- 02Promotional packs, launch packs and campaign materials
- 03Presentation boxes with products, inserts or supporting items
- 04Short-run work where a flexible manual process makes sense
- 05Repeat kits that need consistent contents and presentation
What the work can include
Product kitting shaped around the finished pack

Pack assembly
Build multi-part packs in the agreed order, including inserts and presentation elements supplied for the project.
Presentation finishing

01What is a product kitting service?+
A product kitting service collects a defined set of components and assembles them into one ready-to-use or ready-to-distribute pack. The work can include collation, inserts, presentation and completeness checks.
02Is hand packing suitable for promotional packs?+
It can be. Promotional and launch packs often contain varied components or presentation details that suit a flexible manual process. Share the pack specification and quantity so the requirement can be assessed.
03Can you assemble presentation boxes?+
Presentation-box enquiries are welcome. The right approach depends on the box, products, inserts, arrangement, finish, quantity and deadline, so include those details in your brief.
04Can a kitting project become a repeat run?+
Yes. A first run can establish a clear component list and packing sequence for future repeat requirements, subject to the same practical review of materials, volume and timing.
