Does Amazon MCF offer kitting
I have 18 pallet's of 12-pack sodas in regular shrink wrapped case trays. I want to better protect the soda and supply double wall branded corrugated boxes. A normal 3PL often would offer kitting (i.e. place each case of soda into a provided box and seal).
Is this something Amazon MCF could do? It's not cost effective for me to ship the pallets to a service for kitting and then ship again to Amazon MCF. So this is a factor in my 3PL decision.

Amazon does not offer any such service.
This is what they have to say about packaging for MCF orders:
Unbranded packaging
MCF orders are automatically shipped in unbranded packaging, at no additional cost to you. Unbranded packing is the default ship option for MCF orders, except in cases when it may result in longer shipping and delivery times.
To ensure that all of your orders are shipped in unbranded packaging, select Only ship with blank boxes under the Add items section of the quick order form. When you select this option, our fulfillment logic checks and verifies whether the inventory is in a blank box fulfillment center. If the inventory isn’t in a blank box fulfillment center, the option to only ship with blank boxes isn’t available. Enabling the Only ship with blank boxes option may result in longer shipping and delivery times on your MCF orders.
Unbranded packaging is available for eligible, sortable items. Non-sortable inventory, apparel, footwear, and any items larger than 56 inches or heavier than 49.9 lb are not eligible and cannot be shipped via this program.
Replenishment alerts for unbranded-packaging inventory are currently not available.
To view how many items are enabled for unbranded packaging for a specific ASIN, go to the Multi-Channel Fulfillment Inventory report.
