Kitting and Labeling Services
Streamline Assembly with Kitting and Labeling
At Cross Company, we understand that ordering multiple parts, coordinating suppliers, and prepping assemblies isn’t the value-add you want to spend time on. That’s why we offer Kitting and Labeling Services for manufacturers. Our goal is to make your job easier, your lead times shorter, and your assembly process smoother.
Whether you’re needing to build standard machines, retrofitting older or obsolete equipment, or prepping for several multi-manufacturer assemblies, you can count on Cross to kit, label, and deliver.
Optimizing Logistics From Order to Floor
Our process for kitting and labeling is designed to get you the equipment you need in the most straightforward way possible. Our process includes
- Part set assessment – We work with you to define which components belong together and how you would prefer them to be grouped together
- Kit build/Label design – We package as per your build sequence, assign labels that work with your existing systems, and prepare the packages for delivery
- Shipment and Deployment – When you get your kit, it’s ready for install and your floor team can focus on immediate assembly, not spending time sorting
Integrating Solutions from Industry Leading Brands
Our team works with an industry leading number of suppliers when developing solutions for our customers, so we can integrate the right components every time. Our expertise, paired with access to a wider range of materials, means we can build the best solution for your process.
Organized Kits and Precise Labels Matter
Parts arriving in disorganized bundles, demanding sorting, matching, labeling, and tracking, are a hidden cost of every automation build. However, when the components are packaged together, prepped, and with labels that align with your systems, unnecessary steps are removed. In short, proper kitting and labeling reduces picking errors, frees up floor space, and reduces time to assembly.
When kitting and labeling are done right
- You get kit ready packages already together instead of just loose parts arriving separately
- Your assembly is simplified through labels reflecting your own internal part numbering or machine positions (like side, axis, or subassembly)
- Your mixed-manufacturer parts arrive all grouped logically, not spread over multiple boxes or shipments
Automation Resources and Success Stories
What Our Kitting and Labeling Service Includes
Cross always strives to raise quality, reduce risk, and improve efficiency in your process. And one of the ways we do that is through reliable kitting and labeling. Our offering includes
Custom Kitting
We examine your order, identify the components that need to go together, and assemble them into a single kit. All regardless of how many parts manufacturers are involved
Labeling and Part Identification
We create kits and labels that slot into your existing internal part-number system or machine reference (eg, “Axis-B, Side 2”), reducing confusion in installation and maintenance
Packing and Delivery Readiness
Kits arrive clearly boxed, labeled, and sequenced based on your build order or surge schedule. This reduces onboarding time on your floor and streamlines maintenance and installation
