Employee onboarding kits with custom apparel are a common way for startups and corporates in India to welcome new hires. This guide covers what to include, what to decide before ordering the apparel, and how the bulk order runs from brief to delivery.
What is an employee onboarding kit?
An employee onboarding kit (also called a welcome kit) is a set of branded items given to new hires on their first day. Common contents include:
- Custom branded hoodie or polo shirt — often the centrepiece of the kit
- Company-branded tee — casual, everyday wear
- Notebook and pen — practical items
- Welcome card — a personalised message from the founder or team lead
- Laptop sleeve or tote bag — functional branded items
Which apparel works best for onboarding kits?
- Hoodies: popular for culture-first kits; the batch hoodie design guide covers design options and the zipper hoodie buying guide covers the zip-up style.
- Polo shirts: suit client-facing roles and formal settings; the volunteer T-shirt versus polo guide helps choose the garment.
- T-shirts: casual everyday wear for culture and events.
Decide these before requesting a quote
- Quantity: requirements from around 10 pieces onward are workable; share your brief rather than assuming a minimum.
- Fabric: multiple GSM options are available to suit the client and the season, so discuss preferences when you enquire.
- Design status: share artwork early so it can be reviewed for print suitability; the logo artwork preparation guide explains what print-ready files involve.
- Sizes: collect sizes against the size chart for the actual proposed garment; the size-collection guide explains the process.
- Delivery plan: share your delivery city or cities and required-in-hand date when you enquire; for teams spread across cities, the multi-city delivery guide covers the planning.
Understanding the quote
Onboarding kit apparel pricing depends on the garment, fabric, quantity, decoration method and branding scope, so quotes are prepared against your actual brief rather than published rates. Larger orders, such as 100+ pieces, can cost less per piece because fixed setup work is spread across more units. The corporate uniform cost guide explains the commercial factors, and GST invoices are provided for corporate procurement.
How to place the bulk order
- Share your requirement via the bulk order page or on WhatsApp.
- Review the quote and a digital mock-up of your design.
- Approve the artwork and the final size breakdown.
- Production proceeds with quality checks, and delivery is arranged to your address.
