Subscription brands

Subscription boxes ready for your ship window

Subscription boxes need components ready, assembly planned, and a clear shipping schedule. We’ll work through the batch size, packing steps, and ship window with you.

  • Kitting and assembly run in-house
  • Batch builds staged ahead of the ship window
  • Box options and subscriber groups tracked in our system
  • Returns and address failures handled, not stockpiled

The situation

The whole month lands at once

Batch size and the time available to ship matter more than a daily average. Share your busiest run so we can plan the work around it.
  • Assembly starting too late because components arrived late.
  • The ship window slipping, which is the single largest driver of subscription churn.
  • The wrong box going to a subscriber.
  • Components from six suppliers arriving on six different dates with no single owner.
  • Presentation degrading as the batch progresses and the floor rushes.
  • Failed addresses and returns from a batch nobody reconciles until next month.
  • Leftover components with no plan, becoming dead stock.

How a batch is built

A month of boxes is a production run

Components staged and assembled ahead of the window, not picked on the day.
A bill of materials assembled into one sellable unitFour components and an insert are assembled ahead of demand into a single kit with its own SKU, so an order for the bundle is one pick rather than four.COMPONENT ACOMPONENT BCOMPONENT CINSERT / LITERATUREBILL OF MATERIALSASSEMBLEAHEAD OFDEMANDONE SKUITS OWN BARCODEITS OWN LOCATIONPRE-BUILT1 pick / orderAT ORDER TIME4 picks / orderEVERY ORDER, FOR THE LIFE OF THE SKU
Pre-built, the bundle is one pick on every order. Assembled at order time, it is four picks forever.

What we run

How a batch actually runs

Component receiving and staging

Every component tracked against the build, so a missing item surfaces weeks before the ship window rather than on the day.

Batch assembly

Boxes built ahead of the window as a production run, not picked order by order on the day.

The right box for each subscriber

Each subscriber’s plan tells our team which box to pack.

Presentation standard

A written spec for how the box is laid out, held to on box 19,000 as much as on box 12.

Shipping on schedule

Boxes prepared together so each subscriber group ships within its planned window.

Returns and failed addresses

Undeliverables handled and reconciled as part of the batch rather than accumulating.

Ask a question
How far ahead do you need components?
The earlier components land, the more of the build can be staged before the window. Specific lead times are set per programme.
Can you handle multiple box variants?
Yes. We track each box option and subscription plan in our warehouse system.
What about the leftover components?
We keep leftover components in inventory for the next build or follow your instructions for other handling.
