DISCOVERY & CAMPAIGN KIT PACKING

Bring your product range into one considered kit.

A discovery kit starts with a clear contents list. Bring suitable sealed products together with agreed outer packaging and approved inserts, then review how the complete kit should be assembled and presented.

A proposed format starts a review. Product suitability, materials, packing method and availability are confirmed for the agreed job.

Start with the purpose of the kit.

  • Product discovery: Introduce several variants in a defined combination. Each SKU needs an identity and a quantity per kit.
  • Campaign or event: Prepare a specified pack for an existing campaign, with approved insert or QR artwork where included.
  • Selected-product set: Combine a repeatable selection of finished products. Product suitability and compatible handling still need review.

What the packing brief needs to define.

1. Contents: Every SKU, how many of each goes in one kit, and the number of finished kits.

2. Arrangement: Product order, orientation, insert position and any protective components that matter to the presentation.

3. Outer packaging: What is already supplied, what still needs sourcing, and how the kit is intended to close.

4. Handover: Coding, outer cartons, destination and any campaign deadline to be assessed.

A count example, made explicit.

Illustrative calculation, not a standard pack size or customer project.

500 discovery kits × 6 sealed units = 3,000 base units.

2 × SKU A + 2 × SKU B + 2 × SKU C in each kit.

1,000 units of each SKU are needed for the base run.

Having 3,000 units overall is not sufficient if one SKU is short. Samples, rejects and additional allowance must be agreed separately.

Prepare these details.

  • Product description and product stage
  • SKU list and quantities available per SKU
  • Product and proposed outer-pack dimensions, when known
  • Representative unit and outer-pack samples, to be arranged after review
  • Approved insert/artwork files through an agreed private channel
  • Intended channel, destination and requested timing

Questions worth resolving before production.

  • Does the specified mix fit consistently with the intended insert and closure?
  • Is the arrangement obvious enough to describe in an agreed packing instruction?
  • Are coding, product information and scan requirements clear?
  • How are variants, components and finished kits identified during the job?

These are assessment questions, not automatic assurances that a test has been performed.

Before you brief the work

Can one kit include several SKUs?

Yes, a fixed mixed-SKU configuration can be proposed. The exact quantity of each SKU must add up to the total units per kit, and available stock needs checking per SKU.

Can I include an insert or QR code?

Include the requirement in the brief. Artwork approval, placement, scan performance and destination/privacy arrangements need review. Campaign performance is not guaranteed.

Will you send the kits individually to customers?

Dispatch requirements can be discussed as part of scope. Do not assume ongoing inventory management or full third-party fulfilment is included.

A CLEAR NEXT STEP

A good kit starts with a precise contents list.

Bring the quantities and known details into one brief. Review the checks, add your contact details and send it privately from the planner.
