Where Efficiency Really Counts
It’s a simple enough process–pick the item(s) from the warehouse shelves, pack them in a box or package and ship them out to their destination. But the time this pick, pack, and ship process takes will vary a lot depending on the facilities, systems, and labor you have in place. Lack of storage or unorganized shelving, packaging that’s run out, or just not having a dedicated assembly line or labor in place all add time to the fulfillment process. This can mean missing shipment promises–hurting profits and reputation. Our pick, pack, and ship services may be the missing link to your bottom line and satisfied customers.
Using a contract provider or an additional provider when demand increases is a good way to ensure meeting product demand while leaving you free to focus on other parts of your business. As part of our packaging and fulfillment services, PRIDE Industries can provide a streamlined service to pick, pack, and ship your products, and process and receive returns. We have been serving customers for more than five decades and our experience means we can significantly cut your per-order fulfillment time, saving you money while keeping all your customers happy.

Pick, Pack, and Ship Common Questions
-
The pick, pack, and ship process is the order fulfillment procedure that involves picking and retrieving items from a warehouse, carefully packing them into boxes or containers, creating shipping labels, and handing them over to the shipping carrier for delivery to the customer's specified address. Efficient execution of this process is essential for timely and accurate deliveries.
-
The warehouse in a pick, pack, and ship facility is where products are stored ready to be removed (picked), and packaged for shipping. Warehouses are organized to promote the efficiency of the pick, pack, and ship process with updates constantly being made on inventory and stock numbers.
-
When items need to be sent to customers, the "pick" stage involves locating and retrieving the ordered items from storage locations. Next, in the "pack" stage, the items are carefully packed into appropriate shipping boxes or packages ready to be shipped out.
-
Picking is where the product is taken from where it is located in the warehouse and packing is placing the product into the appropriate package, with packing materials, if necessary, to protect the item.
-
The cycle time, or turnaround time for pick-to-ship will vary with each warehouse. Facilities that incorporate practices and processes based on strategic warehouse layout, real-time stock tracking, and efficient put-away will provide customers with faster and more competent services.
