If necessary, Proto-Pac Engineering can work with a customer’s internal Materials Group to use both turnkey and consignment components for a build. Most often this happens with quick-turn prototype projects.

Proto-Pac Engineering still accepts labor-only builds of consigned materials. Please download the “Consigned Materials Kit Requirements” document.
