Assembly & Packaging
One Facility, Start to Finish
TAB Industries provides assembly, packaging, and supply chain services in-house, giving customers a single, closed-loop process from design and manufacturing through packaging, warehousing, and delivery. Every product ships inspected, tested, and protected, on-spec and on time.
What's Included
- In-house product assembly by trained staff, reducing handoffs and quality-control risk
- Palletizing and stretch-wrapping with the patented TAB Wrapper Tornado, which secures loads without boxes, banding, strapping, or crates
- Freight savings for OEMs and distributors by shipping high-volume pallet loads directly from TAB's southeastern Pennsylvania facility
- Labeling, staging, and freight contract management, plus reporting and documentation as required
Fewer Parts, Faster Assembly for Police Innovations, LLC
For Police Innovations, an equipment supplier to law enforcement, TAB manufactures seated prisoner restraint systems. TAB's engineers worked with the customer to move from concept to a 3D solid model, then refined the design to speed production, reduce weight, cut the part count, and simplify assembly.
From there, TAB sources and inventories the raw material, laser cuts the parts, forms and machines additional components, welds and powder coats the assembly, then builds, tests, and inspects each finished unit. Each chair is banded to its pallet, wrapped with the TAB Wrapper Tornado, labeled, and staged for delivery, all within a single facility, with TAB managing the freight.
What Affects Assembly & Packaging Price and Lead Time
- Number of components per assembly and the steps required to build each unit
- Testing and inspection requirements specific to the product or industry
- Packaging and palletizing specifications, including custom cushioning or labeling
- Freight method and destination, which affect both cost and scheduling
Frequently Asked Questions
Does TAB inspect and test products before they're packaged and shipped?
Yes. Every product ships fully inspected, tested, protected, on-spec, and on time, as a standard part of TAB's assembly and packaging process.
Can TAB design custom packaging from scratch, or does the customer need to provide packaging specs?
TAB's team designs the packaging and cushioning approach directly, tailored to meet both carrier requirements and the customer's own specifications.
Can TAB bundle multiple different parts into one kit or unit during assembly (kitting), or is this single-product assembly only?

Is there a minimum order size for assembly and packaging services?
We do not have a restriction on quantities related to your project needs.
Does TAB handle returns or reverse logistics, or only outbound shipping?
