Supply Chain Establishment

Sourcing and vetting of suppliers is a vital step when manufacturing a product. Finding high-quality producers that can meet our client’s needs is something we strive to achieve. Our team has a combined ten years of experience working with other manufacturing facilities to deliver quality goods to our clients. When it comes to complex assemblies, third-party hardware integration, and sample reviews, our hands-on approach to facilitating communication between multiple manufacturers ensures a seamless production process.

Quality Control and Inspection

Quality control is a necessary part of any manufacturing operation. Our team will provide you and your manufacturers with explicit and clear documentation of our quality expectations. These can include things like 2D technical drawings, assembly documentation, testing procedures, and more.

We also provide inspection services. As we begin producing your product, our team will inspect all samples thoroughly, noting any defects and working with the manufacturer to avoid problems during the product’s final production phase.

Our Manufacturing Management Process

At Kickstart Design we want to transition manufacturing into your hands as easily as possible. Our team will bridge the technical gap between you and the manufacturer, as we fill you in on the status of your product’s creation. Our weekly manufacturing meetings will allow you to ask us any questions on the process and timelines, helping you get an understanding of how you can continue to manufacture your product independently.

Packaging Design and Sourcing

In addition to product manufacturing, Kickstart Design also offers packaging design and sourcing services. This service ranges from graphic design to sourcing packaging manufacturers and suppliers for custom accessories. We can also provide photorealistic renderings of your packaging to ensure the final product arrives exactly as expected. See the image below for an example of our preproduction packaging renders.
