Dear Educator:
Customizing a kit specific to your needs is easy when you work with Nasco. The following guidelines should help you develop the information needed to make your kit a reality.

1 Use our Nasco Custom Kit Form to develop a list of components for your kit. If you are working with an existing curriculum, use the activity and material guides available. If you are customizing or creating a new curriculum, let Nasco help you source your materials. Keep in mind that Nasco has access to over 80,000 components serving 20 catalogs. List all components with as much detail regarding size, shape, color, and any other description possible.

2 To save time, match up materials with existing Nasco products. Catalogs may be obtained by clicking here, or call 1-800-558-9595. The following catalogs are available for your use and, for a brief description of the catalog simply click on a catalog name for more information.
Agricultural Sciences | Arts & Crafts | Dissection Materials | Family & Consumer Sciences | Physical Education & Team Sports
Hands-On-Health | Early Learning Essentials | Math | Nutrition Teaching Aids | Science | Senior Activities | Special Education

3 Once your initial list is developed, contact Nasco at 1-800-558-9595 or the appropriate Sales Director in charge of the area for which you are developing the kit. Please ask questions and share ideas. We are available to serve you and are happy to offer suggestions to help you develop a list of components that will work for you.

4 Send the completed Nasco Custom Kit Form to the Sales Director, including a description and use of any materials not offered in a Nasco catalog.

5 The Sales Director, Kit Department, and Purchasing Staff will source and price all the components for you. We will be in constant contact with you for needed details. Suggestions for alternatives or changes may be made during this process.

6 Decisions will also need to be made regarding packaging and labeling. We can package kits in cartons or reusable plastic storage containers depending on your storage needs and budget.

7 When sourcing is completed, a Nasco Custom Kit Form will be sent to you for verification. Once approved, the Sales Director will be able to determine the cost for your kit.

8 Building a quality custom kit takes time, plan ahead and be prepared to make changes. Communication is the key to success. We are proud of the many custom kits we have helped our customers create. Working with Nasco is an affordable and successful way to provide hands-on learning materials for your students.
