Full service warehousing, made fully for swag
We receive, pick, pack and ship your items all with a focus on inventory control. We use a triple check strategy for any shipment that goes out: products are checked for quality control during: 1. Check in  2. Picking  3. Packing. Rest assured, your merch is in good hands.

Receiving
We handle anything from individual packages to full truck loads. All items go through a robust quality control process. Since swag is all we handle, we know what to check (prop 65 compliance, hazardous items, or misprints.)

Picking
Your items are grouped together in one of our 2 facilities so things can be picked with speed and accuracy. Inventory and locations are all connected to our software platform for real time data and visibility.

Packing
We treat every order as if it was our own. We prioritize eco packaging, such as kraft tape, in all we do. If you need custom packaging or even hand-written notes, we can do that too. Your swag is in good hands.

Shipping
Whether you need 5 or 5000 items sent out, we have the crew to support you and the carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, LTL). We understand what it takes to comply with all the nuances of proper shipping.

Inventory Control

  • We look to ensure the material, the logo, the size, etc. not only match what was expected, but that the quality matches as well.
  • We count 1% of the order to ensure it matches spec. If that % fails, we count 2% more.
  • If the incoming count does not match the expected count, a second person counts.
  • We won’t check anything in that does not have the correct paperwork.

  • Pickers use tablets to ensure to the item being picked matches what was ordered.
  • Cycle counts: we blind count every day, meaning our team counts items without knowing the quantity that should be there, ensuring our team does not lead with a number they expect.
  • We count items with stock under 50 ensuring the items you use regularly and are close to being out of stock are always accurate. An item that has 10 left will cause you problems if you need those 10, but only 8 exist compared to an item that has 50,000 in stock and you need 100 for the tradeshow tomorrow.

  • Our packer is a different person than the picker, meaning every order is double checked.
  • Each picked item is individually compared on screen to the item ordered.
  • Any discrepancy is set aside for a 3rd person to review

Speed + Shipping Intelligence

  • If your order is placed by noon, it ships the same day.
  • Our software calculates the cheapest provider while still considering shipping speed, saving you money on every shipment sent out.

ECO-PACKAGING
Packaging that takes care of your items
and the environment

We’re on a constant quest to improve how we fulfill and ship your orders with packaging that’s 100% biodegradable or recyclable. Whether it’s switching from bubble wrap to paper wrap, or ditching plastic tape for compostable kraft tape, here are some ways we’re using packaging to make a difference:

Biodegradable
Bubble Mailers

These mailers are biodegradable within 5-60 months.

Reusable
Poly Mailers

A dual adhesive strip allows these 100% recycled mailers to be used again before being recycled.

Tape with Plant
Based Adhesive

A plant-derived glue makes the tape adhesive biodegradable as well as the paper.

Recyclable
Air Pillows

No more styrofoam peanuts. Instead we’re using 100% recyclable air pillows to cushion shipments.

Glassware
Packaging

Recyclable paper is transformed into honeycomb packaging material to protect glassware.

Label with Zero Waste Liner
Made of 100% recycled content
and is curbside recyclable.

UPS LABELS
It’s the little things that add up

We switched to a UPS label with a backing that can be recycled. Doesn’t seem like much, but with 2 Distribution Centers and hundreds of thousands of packages being shipped, the simple switch reduces our annual footprint by:

In-house distribution center = flexibility + control

We have two central distribution centers to give clients 95% coverage of the entire country within a 2 day ship (when was the last time you really needed swag in less than 2 days?) Your sales and events team will love how fast items arrive and how it makes everything easier.

These are Kotis run facilities, not outsourced, so we have total control of current orders and a future focus on advancements to help you manage your company’s swag.
