When and how teams use branded gifts

New hire welcome kits. A ready-to-go kit on day one makes new employees feel part of the team. A popular combination is a tee, a tumbler, a notebook and a pen.

Employee appreciation. Say thanks during appreciation events, after a big project or at the end of a strong year.

Work anniversaries and milestones. Engraved or higher-end items make a lasting keepsake.

Company events and team building. Matching shirts or hats bring people together for outings, volunteer days and company picnics.

Safety recognition and plant events. Manufacturers can mark safety milestones, plant anniversaries and shift celebrations with branded workwear, drinkware or engraved awards.

Remote team members. If some of your team works remotely, ask us about shipping options when you quote.

Kits for new hires over time. Need kits shipped to new hires over time? We can store your inventory and ship on demand.

Tips for building a great kit

  • Pick a standard kit. Choosing a set of core items makes it easy to give every new hire the same experience.
  • Choose useful over novelty. Items people use every day, like drinkware and notebooks, keep your brand in view.
  • Plan for sizes. For apparel, gather sizes early or choose items like hats and drinkware that don’t need them.
  • Think ahead for reorders. Contact us for minimums and current lead times so you can plan when to restock.

Apparel for every kit

Apparel is often the centerpiece of an onboarding kit. We decorate it in-house using the method that suits your logo:
