How to Create the Perfect Employee Welcome Pack
Drawing from over five years of experience in creating hundreds of welcome kits for leading Indian corporations, we’ve distilled the process into five key stages.
The initial step involves selecting the optimal packaging. This container will be the first impression for new hires, and its choice should align with the company’s identity. Following this, curating a selection of essential items is crucial. These items should not only be practical but also reflective of the company culture.
Next, branding takes center stage. The company logo and messaging should be seamlessly integrated into the welcome kit through careful selection of printing techniques. A physical sample is then essential for a comprehensive evaluation of the design before mass production. Finally, efficient delivery and storage solutions are vital for a seamless employee onboarding experience.
Step 1: Choose the packaging
The first impression matters. Your new hire’s welcome kit packaging sets the tone. Many companies start by matching the box color to their brand. But there are other options: backpacks and eco-friendly jute bags. Let’s explore these choices in detail.
For a truly branded experience, custom boxes are unparalleled. Crafted in your exact brand colors, they offer maximum visual impact. However, this premium presentation comes with a price tag. Custom boxes typically require a higher minimum order quantity (MOQ) and tend to be more costly per unit.
If you’re aiming for a luxurious look, consider kapa-based boxes. With an MOQ of 50 pieces, they offer a balance of customization and affordability. For larger quantities, corrugated boxes might be a more economical choice, though the MOQ is significantly higher at 500 pieces.
Option 1: Minimum Order Quantity=50 pcs, price range=300.00-450.00
Option 2: Minimum Order Quantity=50 pcs, price range=130.00-180.00
Option 3: Minimum order quantity=50 Pcs, Price Range= 580.00-675.00
Step 2: Filling Your Welcome Kit
Once you’ve selected the perfect packaging, curating the contents becomes significantly easier. The majority of companies opt for practical items that enhance the new hire’s office experience.
Pens, diaries, notebooks, water bottles, and sippers are popular choices. To add a personal touch, consider including branded apparel like t-shirts. Other desktop accessories can also complement your welcome kit.
