Branded packaging, without a second vendor
Branded boxes, tissue, inserts and multi-step kitting assembled as part of pick-and-pack — not shipped out to a separate packer and back. One contact, one facility, one handoff.
What does a custom packaging service include?
Custom packaging covers branded outer boxes, tissue, crinkle, printed inserts, stickers and multi-step presentation, all assembled during the pack process. Lateral Fulfillment builds these into the same pick-and-pack workflow, so a brand does not run a separate packaging vendor or pay for an extra handling step.
Why handle packaging inside fulfillment instead of a separate vendor?
A separate packer means inventory moves twice, adds a handoff and slows dispatch. Assembling packaging at the point of pack removes that round trip. It lowers handling cost, protects same-day dispatch and keeps one contact accountable for how every order looks when it arrives.

Frequently asked questions
Can Lateral Fulfillment use our existing packaging?
Yes. Brands ship their boxes, inserts and materials to the facility, where they are stocked and picked into each order. Materials can also be produced locally through the supplier network if a brand prefers to source closer to the operation.
Does custom packaging slow down dispatch?
No. Packaging is assembled during the standard pack process, so orders received before cutoff still ship the same business day. Because it happens in one building, there is no second vendor and no extra transit between steps.
What kinds of kitting are supported?
Multi-SKU bundles, gift sets, subscription boxes and promotional builds are all assembled and, where useful, stocked as single sellable units. Complex multi-step builds run under documented SOPs so each kit is consistent.
Is there a minimum order volume for custom packaging?
No. Custom packaging is available on the same no-minimum structure as fulfillment, so smaller brands get branded presentation without a separate contract or volume threshold.
How is custom packaging priced?
Packaging is billed as a value-added service on top of the per-order fulfillment fee, based on the number of touches and materials used. Storage of packaging materials is billed like any other stock, by pallet or bin.
Can you handle gift orders and receipt suppression?
Yes. Gift wrap, personalized messaging and receipt or pricing suppression are configured by order rule, so gift orders present correctly without manual handling.
Do you support seasonal or limited-run packaging?
Yes. Seasonal cartons, holiday inserts and limited-run builds are staged ahead of release and picked by date, so campaigns launch on schedule without last-minute repacking.
Is there a minimum order volume for custom packaging?
No. There is no volume floor. Packaging work is priced per order and per value-added step, so a growing brand is quoted on the same structure as an established one.
