Custom kits need a little more planning than single instruments. Here is what to expect. Ordering custom kits therefore needs a little more planning than single items.

Kits need set-up for components, packaging and labels, so they usually have a minimum per design. Standard kits often have lower minimums than fully custom ones.

Tips for ordering custom kits smoothly
Ordering custom kits goes smoothly when both sides agree the details early. First, share a full list of components, quantities and packaging needs. Next, approve a sample kit before production. In addition, confirm the label text and artwork in writing. As a result, there are fewer surprises later.
Also, plan ahead for repeat orders. Custom kits take longer to make than stock items, so give your supplier a rolling forecast. However, small changes to a kit can affect lead times, so agree changes early.
