Dallas, Texas – November 11, 2026 – Ten kitting, assembly and contract packaging companies with a building in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro were compared for the 2026 3PLs Near Me rankings on kit formats, kitting at the local building, retail labeling, published kitting programs and quality checks, and one company came out on top: Productiv, which runs a 725,000 sq ft, FDA-registered campus in the metro and assembles more than 30 million kits a year across its network.

The five companies below lead the 3PLs Near Me list of the best kitting and assembly companies in Dallas-Fort Worth. Every building and kitting service on that list was checked against the company’s own website.

#1: PRODUCTIV – BEST KITTING AND ASSEMBLY COMPANY IN DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX

• Addresses: 4255 Patriot Dr Unit #300, Grapevine, TX 76051 and 2501 S Airfield Dr, Dallas, TX
• Website: getproductiv.com

• Network: Dallas-Fort Worth national hub, Charlotte, North Carolina, and Sparks, Nevada, plus embedded teams inside client plants

Productiv’s Dallas-Fort Worth campus, on Patriot Drive in Grapevine and South Airfield Drive in Dallas, is the national hub of the company’s network and its highest-volume kitting site. Its kitting and assembly lines build holiday gift sets, subscription boxes, store displays and repacks, and the same campus labels and ships those kits to each retailer’s routing guide. A brand with a seasonal gift set for Target and a subscription box for its own customers can run both programs from one site.

WHY DO BRANDS RUN KITTING IN DALLAS-FORT WORTH?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 79 private packaging and labeling services businesses in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area in 2024. Finished kits can leave North Texas on I-20, I-30, I-35 or I-45, the four interstates that cross the region, according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments, or by rail through BNSF’s Alliance intermodal facility in north Fort Worth, which the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership says lifts more than 1 million containers a year. Qualifying inventory shipped out of state within 175 days pays no local property tax under Fort Worth’s Freeport Tax Exemption.

About 3PLs Near Me

3PLs Near Me, launched in 2026, publishes ranked lists of third-party logistics, warehousing and kitting companies in US cities and states. Its aim is to help brands choose a provider by location first, since where their customers are and where their containers land decide which warehouses can reach both within two days. Each list puts the companies’ local buildings and services side by side, and a company qualifies for a kitting list only when it runs a building in that metro and lists kitting or assembly work on its own website. The site may earn a commission when a reader hires a company through a link on the site.
