What should go in a new-hire welcome kit?
- Apparel: a logo T-shirt, polo or quarter-zip (company shirts and logo apparel, browse pullovers)
- Drinkware: an insulated tumbler or water bottle (logo tumblers, mugs and bottles, browse tumblers)
- Notebook and pen: for the first week of training and meetings (browse journals)
- Tech: a power bank or charger (browse power banks)
- A bag: a tote or backpack to carry the rest (browse backpacks)
How do we build kits at different budget levels?
We don't list prices here because kits depend on your items and quantities, but most employers think in three levels:
- Starter kit: a logo T-shirt, a pen and a notebook
- Standard kit: the starter kit plus a tumbler or water bottle
- Premium kit: a quarter-zip, a tumbler, a tech item and a backpack
Tell us your budget per new hire and how many people you hire, and we'll show you options at each level.
We hire all year. Do we need to stock kits?
No. A company store is built for this. It's a website with your logo and only the items you approve, and new hires (or HR) order what they need when they need it. Items are produced when someone orders, so there's no inventory to buy, no closet full of leftover shirts and no guessing sizes. We'll talk through how ordering and payment should work for your group before the store goes live. (How company stores work)
How do the kit items get to new hires?
For a hiring class or a batch of kits, the items can be delivered to your office in one shipment, ready for HR to hand out on day one. For remote employees, a company store lets people in other offices or other states order from the same link. Have other needs, like remote hires or a set welcome-box format? Ask us about the options when you order.
How do minimums and turnaround work?
Minimums depend on the item and the decoration method. Turnaround is usually about 1–4 weeks after proof approval. It depends on the items, the decoration and the quantity, and rush options are available on many products. If you're onboarding a group after the new year, plan ahead. More general answers are on our FAQ page.

Frequently asked questions
What should be in a new-hire welcome kit?
Most kits include a logo shirt or quarter-zip, a tumbler or bottle, and a notebook and pen. Tech items and a bag make the kit feel premium.
We hire all year. Do we have to stock kits?
No. A company store lets HR or new hires order items as people are hired, with no inventory to hold.
How do new hires get the right size?
With a company store, new hires choose their own sizes. HR can also collect sizes before each order.
What about employees who work remotely?
A company store works well for remote staff because people in other offices or other states can order from the same store. Ask us about other options for remote hires when you order.
How long does it take to get onboarding kit items?
Most orders take about 1–4 weeks after proof approval, depending on the items, the decoration and the quantity. If you have a start date or a hiring class coming up, tell us up front.
