Leveraging a signature color and rich history to engage prospective students

Case Study

Instructional kits for early childhood

Economies of scale help learning kits hit their target — on budget

Challenge

A leading provider of early childhood solutions created a product that efficiently integrated all essential elements of a curriculum — e.g., print materials and manipulatives (e.g., blocks, tape measures, puppets) — into an instructional kit. However, the packaging, kitting, and delivery of this entire product proved too complex.

Solution

RRD’s vantage point facilitated economies of scale. Our global network sourced manipulatives, supported on-demand print needs, and manufactured all other facets of the instructional kits. This would effectively align the kits’ cost with target budgets.

Results

In a span of 10 days, RRD fulfilled and delivered 2,555 instructional kits — each containing 35 components — to more than 800 locations.
