Products in. Packs out.
Prepared in between.
Contract packing is for brands that need stock prepared properly before sale, storage or dispatch.
Spacebox Fulfilment provides contract packing services from our Birmingham warehouse for ecommerce brands, retailers and suppliers that need kitting, assembly, labelling, repacking, promotional packs or subscription box preparation.
Your products arrive as components, cartons or bulk stock. Our team turns them into retail-ready, dispatch-ready or campaign-ready packs.
Product Prep Area
Prep OperationsKitting, labelling, assembly and product preparation handled by our Birmingham warehouse team.
Bundles, kits, subscription boxes, promotional packs, retail packs, inserts, labels and repacking.
Batch, lot and expiry details are checked during goods-in.
Products are matched against SKU, barcode and supplied batch information.

Prepare stock before it moves
Some products need work before they are ready to sell.
Stock may need labels applied, products grouped into kits, inserts added, cartons split, packaging replaced or bundles assembled before fulfilment.
Managing this work in-house can take space and staff away from other operations.
Spacebox provides product prep and contract packing from our Birmingham fulfilment centre. We receive the stock, follow the agreed brief and prepare products for storage, sale, fulfilment or onward delivery.
The route stays simple. Stock received. Preparation completed. Finished products move on.

Finished units can move into storage, ecommerce fulfilment, courier dispatch, retail delivery or collection.

Product prep connected to fulfilment
Prepare the product and keep the next stage close.
Product preparation rarely happens on its own. Once products are labelled, bundled, packed or assembled, they often need storage, picking, packing or onward dispatch.
Spacebox connects contract packing with the wider Birmingham fulfilment operation, reducing unnecessary handovers between preparation and the next stock movement.
For growing ecommerce brands, this creates a clearer route from incoming stock to finished product and customer order.
Every project starts with agreed instructions and finished-pack requirements.
