What is handline fulfilment?

ad-hoc fulfilment refers to flexible, on-demand fulfilment services that are not part of a regular or scheduled process. This type of fulfilment is often used for special projects, promotions, or one-time events where a business needs to prepare and ship a large batch of items quickly. Ad-hoc fulfilment services typically include tasks such as:

  • Kitting & Sampling

    We collate and display products in bespoke packaging, such as affixing products to carrier cards. This approach is perfect for producing FMCG sample packs as well as retail products.

  • Bundling

    The team packs multiple items together to create a new product bundle. This is a great solution for building welcome packs and gift boxes for upcoming events or direct marketing campaigns.

  • Reworking

    When you need to modify a product to improve its presentation, such as changing labels for branding or language purposes, our team can carefully complete the fixes for large volumes in flawless detail.
