Kitting, custom labeling, light assembly, and rework handled by the same team that ships your time sensitive orders across the Chicago metropolitan area. No handoffs, no second warehouse, no delays.
Not every product arrives ready to sell or ship. It may need labeling, repacking, assembly, or several SKUs combined into one finished item before it can leave the building. That’s where Ship-Mate 3PL comes in.
For 16 years, we’ve served brands across the Chicago metropolitan area turning bulk inventory and loose components into customer-ready orders, on the same timeline as the rest of your fulfillment. As a full-service 3PL, our value added logistics team handles the details so your products ship on time, every time. We don’t just store and ship. We make it ready.
We store your inventory the moment it arrives at our Lisle facility — but for a lot of brands, that’s only half the job. Our value added services (VAS) team handles the work that happens before an order is ready to leave the warehouse.
“If you’re shipping from a garage, basement, spare room, or storage unit and feeling the strain, you’re our ideal client.”
Multi-component orders, promotional packs, and subscription boxes assembled to spec with precision verification.
Retailer-compliant labeling, private-label packaging, and rebranding designed to eliminate vendor chargebacks.
Component assembly, POP display builds, and finished product configurations all part of our kitting and assembly services.
Repackaging, compliance relabeling, damage mitigation, and returns-to-resale preparation.
Inbound and pre-ship quality control checks built into the physical assembly line, not bolted on.
Discount cards, thank-you notes, stickers, and branded marketing collateral added during kitting.
The gap between “inventory arrived” and “order shipped” is where most 3PLs quietly fall short. Here’s exactly what happens to your product on our floor.
Inbound inventory is logged and staged the day it lands at our Lisle facility, serving the full Chicago metropolitan area.
Quality checks catch damage or shortfalls before your customer ever sees them.
Multi-component orders and promo packs are built and verified against spec as part of our kitting and assembly services.
Compliance labeling, private branding, and custom packaging applied to requirements.
Order-ready product moves out, domestic or international, on schedule.
From kitting and labeling to custom packaging and beyond, we handle the extra steps that keep your products moving and your brand growing.
With 16 years of 3PL experience, Ship-Mate helps brands keep inventory order-ready, meet tight deadlines, and simplify fulfillment.
Our Chicago-area facility brings kitting, labeling, assembly, and fulfillment under one roof, with domestic and international shipping support and responsive service during business hours.
Both are possible. We can work with your existing packaging and inserts, or advise on packaging options if you’re setting up a new kit or bundle from scratch.
No — this work is scheduled as part of your standard fulfillment flow at our Chicago-area facility, not outsourced to a separate vendor, so it doesn’t add an extra shipping leg or delay.
Yes. Kitting, labeling, assembly, and special packaging requests are part of what we do regularly.
Yes. We manage both domestic and international shipping, so kitted and assembled orders move directly into your existing fulfillment flow, no matter the destination.
