What Fits in an Employee Welcome Kit Under ₹500

Under ₹500 doesn’t mean cutting corners. It means choosing items with daily utility and high brand visibility so your logo travels from desk to commute to coffee counter. These tried-and-tested mixes keep costs in check and smiles high.

Diary + Pen (Office Essential)

Perfect for training sessions and meetings. Add a one-color logo on both.

  • A5 ruled diary (kraft/PU/eco paper)
  • Metal or eco pen (laser engraved)

Best for mass onboarding & campuses.

Mug or Bottle (Daily Visibility)

Choose a ceramic mug or steel/bamboo bottle. High frequency of use equals high recall.

  • Single-side logo print
  • Individual box packing

Great for hybrid teams & events.

Eco Tote + Note (Sustainable)

Reusable jute/canvas tote with a small welcome note or card inside.

  • One-color logo on tote
  • Optional QR code to handbook

Lightweight & travel-friendly.

Packaging That Doubles Perceived Value

Even simple items feel premium when the unboxing is thoughtful. A rigid box or sleeve with your logo and a short welcome card elevates the experience without derailing the budget. If you’re distributing at scale, consider a kraft mailer with a printed sleeve for speed and consistency.

Suggested Low-Cost Packaging

  • Kraft rigid box with black/white logo
  • Printed sleeve around a stock box
  • Branded welcome card (A6)

Ask for pre-packed city-wise cartons for multi-location dispatch.

When to Upgrade

For leadership hires or client-facing roles, upgrade to textured rigid boxes, foam inserts, or custom colorways borrowed from your brand palette.
