What We Kit for Events and Activations
We prepare kitted packs for staff uniforms, promo giveaways, delegate packs and retail-facing activations. Each kit can include t-shirts, hoodies, caps, tote bags and other polyester accessories, all grouped by size, colour or campaign group so your team can hand them out without sorting on the day.
For Durban events and nationwide roadshows, this is especially useful when you are working with tight setup times, mixed age groups or multiple sponsor tiers. We can pack 25, 50, 100 or more units per line item, and each carton is marked clearly for easy counts at the venue.
- Size-sorted apparel packs for S to 5XL, subject to stock
- Colour-specific sets for branded campaigns
- Delegate bags and accessory inserts
- Promo packs for launches, expos and store openings
- Multi-location packs for teams moving between venues
How the Kitting Process Works
We start with your packing list, artwork notes and delivery deadline. Our team checks what is in stock, confirms sizes and quantities, then sets up the order for picking and pack-out. If you need a split between branches such as Pinetown, Westville, Umhlanga or Hillcrest, we can separate the order before boxing.
Once the goods are picked, our production and quality teams confirm counts and pack instructions. Items are folded, grouped and labelled, then boxed for collection or dispatch. If there are replacement sizes or last minute changes, we handle them before the final seal so your packs arrive ready to use not half-finished.
- Order review and stock confirmation
- Picking by size, colour or campaign group
- Count check and pack verification
- Labelling, boxing and dispatch
- Collection scheduling or nationwide courier handover
Pack Specifications and Inclusions
Our event packs are built around clean, practical specs that suit both indoor venues and outdoor activations. Most apparel blanks are polyester, which keeps them suitable for sublimation printing later if needed. We also supply small accessories that travel well and reduce the number of loose items on tables and counters.
Typical pack formats include single-person kits, family packs and staff packs. If your event is in coastal KwaZulu-Natal, we can add moisture-resistant outer packing and tighter carton lining to help protect goods during humid conditions. For longer transit, we recommend carton marking on at least two sides so the receiving team can identify contents quickly.
- Apparel sizes from child to adult, depending on stock line
- Single or mixed-size packs
- Inner poly bagging available on request
- Carton labels showing item, size run and quantity
- Optional inserts for flyers, sample cards or vouchers
Turnaround Times for Event Deadlines
Turnaround depends on pack size, stock levels and how much sorting is needed. Simple same-item packs can move fast, while mixed packs with several sizes or add-ons need more handling time. For most standard event kitting jobs, we plan with a 2 to 5 working day window once stock is confirmed.
If your event is during a busy trade week or just before month end, book early so we can secure labour and hold stock. In peak periods, or when goods need to move nationwide, extra lead time helps avoid stress at dispatch. We will always tell you upfront if a line is likely to take longer due to size breaks or limited availability.
Pricing Based on Pack Complexity
Pricing is based on the number of units, the number of size variations, the amount of checking required and the type of packaging requested. Straightforward bulk packs cost less than mixed packs that need individual sorting, labelling and insert placement. If you need split deliveries to several branches or venues, that is quoted separately.
Our event kitting pricing is based on the goods, the packing labour, and any extra materials required. You pay for the goods, the packing labour, and any special materials such as extra labels or protective wrap. For larger promotional runs, we can price per pack or per line item so you can compare options before signing off. No surprise add-ons after the counts are final.
- Per pack or per line pricing available
- Labour charged by pack complexity
- Extra labels, wrap and inserts quoted separately
- Split delivery and after-hours handover quoted on request
Stock Care Before and After Packing
Event stock should be checked before packing and again before the handover, especially when the goods are meant for a fixed date. We recommend a stock review every 30 to 60 days for slow-moving event lines, and weekly checks in the run-up to a campaign. This helps keep size runs balanced and avoids short counts on the day.
In our warehouse, packs are stored off the floor and handled with basic moisture control, which matters in Durban’s humid conditions. If you are holding stock for a launch or roadshow, keep cartons in a dry room away from sunlight and open loading bays. That small step helps protect the outer packaging and keeps garments in better condition when they leave for site.
- 30 to 60 day review for planned event stock
- Weekly checks before active campaign dates
- Dry storage recommended for hold stock
- Recount before dispatch on larger orders
