Value Added Services
Kitting, assembly, co-packing, and custom fulfillment services that create margin, deepen customer relationships, and turn your 3PL into a genuine competitive advantage.
Most Operations Leave VAS Revenue on the Table
Value added services — kitting, assembly, custom packaging, labeling, co-packing, and special projects — are often treated as one-off requests rather than a designed revenue stream. Without proper pricing, workflow integration, and capacity planning, VAS either gets turned away or delivered at a loss.
Patrick has built VAS programs into meaningful revenue contributors within 3PL and fulfillment operations, creating stickiness with clients and improving overall facility profitability.

Turning One-Off Requests Into a Designed Revenue Stream
Built VAS programs within 3PL operations by creating standardized service menus, pricing models, and workflow integration that allowed the operation to quote, schedule, and execute kitting, assembly, and custom packaging at scale — without disrupting core fulfillment throughput.
Designed subscription box assembly operations for DTC brands, including labor planning, materials management, and quality control systems that maintained accuracy while meeting tight shipping windows.
Managed retail-ready co-packing operations for CPG brand launches, coordinating packaging design requirements, compliance labeling, and retailer-specific case pack configurations across multiple retail channels simultaneously.
Developed cost-plus pricing models for VAS that ensure profitability on every job type, with variable pricing tiers for volume, complexity, and turnaround time requirements.
