What is Kit Assembly and how does it work?
The Kit Assembly process is also known as co-packing, which translating into Portuguese means second packaging, that is, the system basically involves combining products to create a promotional kit, in order to attract the customer.
This strategy has been used frequently in Brazil, because, due to the current economic conditions in the country, “lightweight 3 pay 2” promotions have been one of the most sought after options by consumers, who want to save money and at the same time continue to buy products Of Quality.
Usually the Kit Assembly process works like this: the company identifies a product or line that would benefit from a promotion, defines which technologies to be used in the process (such as printers and scanners), together with the components for the kit composition, passes on everything for the co-packer who does the assembly and then returns to the Distribution Center or manufacturer.
A practical example: a company that makes toothbrushes and pastes can create a kit with both products. After choosing the format, the next step would be for the co-packer to handle and send the ready kit back to the producer or to a Logistics Operator for distribution.
It is important to note that factors such as model, size and weight of the kit directly influence the cost of the logistical process, so we emphasize once again the importance of good communication between the parties involved, as this way it is possible to ensure that the project happens according to expected by both sides.
