Welcome Kits

An employee welcome kit is a set of branded items given to a new joiner on their first day, typically including apparel, a bag, drinkware and desk essentials, packed in branded packaging. It gives a consistent first-day experience across every joiner and puts company branding into daily use from the start.

Most kits include a wearable such as a t-shirt or hoodie, a carry item such as a backpack or tote, a drinkware item such as a mug or travel mug, and desk items such as a notebook and pen. Higher-budget kits add tech items like power banks, or a jacket.

Preset kits come as ready combinations with the product mix already decided, which makes them faster to order and easier to repeat for continuous hiring. Build-your-own kits are assembled from scratch around your budget per joiner, your brand palette and the roles you are hiring for.

No. There is no minimum order quantity on welcome kits, so a startup onboarding five people and an enterprise onboarding several hundred a quarter use the same programme. Per-kit cost improves with volume, particularly on the apparel and packaging components.

Plan on 5 to 7 working days in Bangalore and 7 to 10 working days across India from artwork approval for a standard kit, because the items are produced in parallel and then packed together. The apparel component usually sets the timeline. Kits built entirely from express-stock items can move far faster — ATC has delivered 1,200 branded welcome kits to Hyderabad in 46 hours.

Yes. Many programmes run two or three kit tiers — typically a standard kit for most joiners, a higher-value kit for senior hires, and a role-specific variant where a team needs particular items. The tiers share packaging and branding, so they read as one programme rather than three separate orders.
