What to Include in a Custom Branded Onboarding Pack
Our decades of experience and expert team help you choose onboarding merch your new starters will actually use, value and keep. Here are the promotional product categories our team recommends for welcome kits that consistently work well.
New Starter Welcome Kit Ideas for Every Team, Role and Workplace
The best onboarding campaigns happen when products are tailored to the recipient, their interests and the role they are stepping into. Explore employee welcome gift ideas for different teams, with onboarding merch matched to how they work, connect and represent your brand.
For Office Teams
A strong office onboarding pack could include a notebook, pen, reusable bottle, coffee cup, desk accessory and branded bag, with items useful at work and on the daily commute.
For Remote Teams
Remote welcome packs should improve the home office experience and help new starters feel connected from afar, with items like wireless chargers, desk mats, notebooks, mugs and comfy clothing.
For Hybrid Teams
Hybrid teams need practical items that travel well, helping new starters feel equipped wherever they work. Laptop bags, drink bottles, notebooks and tech accessories work especially well.
For Field Teams
Field teams need practical, durable merch they can use on the job, useful products like branded workwear, drink bottles, cooler bags, caps, notebooks and safety-focused essentials.
For Executives or Senior Hires
For senior hires, a premium onboarding pack should feel polished and considered, with items like a quality notebook, insulated drinkware, premium pen, leather-look compendium and custom gift box.
For Event & Seasonal Teams
The best merch for events or seasonal teams is easy to distribute, useful on the day and quick to create team visibility, like branded T-shirts, caps, tote bags, lanyards and drinkware.
What Makes a Great Employee Welcome Pack for New Starters?
The best new hire onboarding packs are not overloaded with random merch products and giveaways. They are curated around the employee's real workday as well as products they will keep and use outside of work too.
Useful
Every item should have a reason to be there. Products that get used often create better brand value.
On-Brand
The colours, decoration style, packaging and messaging should feel like your business. This is especially important for culture-led brands.
Good quality
You do not need to choose the most expensive products, but you should choose items that feel reliable and well-made.
Easy to distribute
Think about whether packs will be handed out in the office, shipped to remote employees or sent to multiple locations.
Personal where possible
Adding personalisation such as an employee name, team message or manager note can make the pack feel more thoughtful.
