Ecommerce Prep Center for Every Sales Channel
Products do not always arrive ready to sell. ASTORAGE receives your inventory and handles inspection, labeling, packaging, kitting, bundling, rework, and carton and pallet prep before preparing it for a marketplace, retail buyer, wholesale account, warehouse, or fulfillment workflow.
Marketplace prep, retail prep, and wholesale prep follow different requirements. We prepare your inventory to meet the standards of its destination.
What Ecommerce Prep Includes
Ecommerce prep covers the work between a shipment’s arrival and the point when inventory is ready to move. Before products reach a marketplace, retail channel, warehouse, or fulfillment workflow, they usually require several of the services below.
Inspection
Verifying product condition, quantities, visible damage, and SKU accuracy before further processing.
Labeling
Applying barcodes, product labels, carton labels, or marketplace labels according to specifications.
Packaging
Preparing products with required packaging, poly bags, warnings, and protective materials.
Kitting & Bundling
Combining products into channel-ready sets, multipacks, or bundles.
Repackaging & Rework
Correcting inventory that arrives with improper packaging, labels, or organization.
Carton & Pallet Prep
Organizing inventory for easier receiving, scanning, storage, processing, or forwarding.
Prep Services by Sales Channel
Labels, packaging, carton configurations, and pallet requirements vary by channel. ASTORAGE prepares your inventory for the destination’s specific standards, helping shipments get accepted without being returned for corrections.

One marketplace may reject a label format another accepts. A carton configuration that works for a retail distribution center may not meet a wholesale buyer’s dock requirements. Pallet specifications, packaging standards, and receiving procedures vary by destination. Preparing inventory for each channel gives you:
