Contract Kitting, Packaging & Fulfillment for Manufacturers

Kits and packouts built to the BOM, checked before they ship.

From its Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin facility in the Milwaukee area, RELY provides contract kitting and contract packaging for manufacturers: industrial production, installation, service and retrofit kits, plus secondary packaging, variety packs, retail packouts and fulfillment, including Amazon FBA prep, with barcode checkpoints and defined verification from receipt through shipment.

Staged shipments · RELY floor

A · Industrial kitting

Kits built to the approved BOM, verified before release.

Kitting sounds simple until variation enters: substitutions, packaging versions, customer documents, line-side timing and revisions. RELY builds kits to an approved bill of materials for production, installation, service, repair, aftermarket and retrofit programs, with sequenced workflows and defined checks.

Because RELY also assembles and builds harnesses, a kit can include parts we made, inspected and packed in one flow. Contract assembly · Wire harnesses

What a kit can contain

  • Customer-supplied material
  • Hardware & purchased components
  • Labels & instructions
  • RELY-built subassemblies
  • Wire harnesses

How contents are verified

Verification is built around the approved BOM, required quantities, revisions, labeling, packaging instructions and program-specific checks, to keep missing, incorrect or obsolete components from reaching your line or your customer.

B · Packaging & fulfillment

Secondary packaging, variety packs and retail packouts.

What co-packing means here

Secondary packaging of finished product.

Variety packs, multipacks, bundles and retail packouts of finished, packaged products. It is not filling, formulation, food processing or food-contact component assembly.

Food & beverage

Controls approved per program.

Food and beverage packout programs run under program-specific food-safety controls, with lot and date-code handling as required. RELY holds a Wisconsin food warehouse license (PDF).

Channels

Requirements reviewed before launch.

When a retailer or marketplace requires specific labels, a labeling error can lead to rejected shipments or chargebacks under that channel’s terms. RELY reviews your customer and channel requirements and builds the agreed checks into the packout.

Proof · Case No. 19

A beverage brand moved FBA fulfillment and variety-pack kitting to RELY.

A rapidly growing beverage manufacturer was running Amazon FBA fulfillment in-house, pulling leadership and production resources into daily pick-and-pack work. RELY took over FBA fulfillment execution: pick and pack, labeling and ship coordination, controlled co-packing of variety packs and multipacks, packout definitions and work instructions, and lot and expiration-date verification during kitting.
