German term or phrase: bestücken
In einem Text über Werbeartikel, Broschüren, Muster kommt ständig das Wort "bestücken" vor und ich weiß leider gar nicht, wie ich das am besten übersetzen kann:

Die Bestückung mit Mustertafeln und Artikelmustern erfolgt individuell.

Musterkoffer Schubladensystem - individuell bestückbar

Die vorhandenen Musterkoffer können jedoch aktuell bestückt werden.

Die Regale werden kundenindividuell bestückt.

neutral  Ian M-H (X): Wulf-Dieter's "stock" could work, as could a plain simple "fill", but "outfit" and "fit" don't work here IMO
