What goes into an employee onboarding kit?

A typical employee onboarding kit contains a branded notebook and pen, quality drinkware, a garment in the new hire's size, and a welcome card — packed in a branded box and placed on the desk (or couriered to the door) for day one. Brandful curates kits to budget, brands them, packs them, and keeps the spec on file so every future hire gets the identical experience.

Onboarding kits fail in the second month, not the first

The first cohort always goes fine — someone shops, someone packs, everyone feels good. Then a developer starts in October, alone, and there's no kit because kits were a project, not a process. The October hire notices. They compare their empty desk to the photos from the July intake on the company Slack, and the message lands with precision: we make an effort in batches.

The fix isn't enthusiasm, it's a spec: one defined kit, on file with a supplier, orderable one unit at a time. Which is exactly the shape of the thing Brandful sells.

The standard day-one desk kit: notebook, pen, drinkware, tee or cap in-size.

Remote employee kits

The same kit, couriered to the new hire’s address before day one; delivery options confirmed on quote.

Premium tier (R500–R1,200+)

Why HR teams build kits with Brandful

One spec, every hire

Contents, branding, and packing recorded on the first order; the fortieth hire gets the same kit as the first.

No minimum orders

A single October start is a normal order, not a favour. Your first branding position is free; additional positions carry a once-off R400 setup fee.

Sizes handled properly

Garments collected per recipient in full size runs — nobody’s first-day gift is a shirt that doesn’t fit.

Packed, not shipped as parts

Kits arrive assembled; HR hands over a box, not a packing job.

3–5 working days from artwork approval

Plannable around notice periods; peak season confirmed on quote.

Managed onboarding

Hiring monthly? Let the kit order itself.

A private corporate store holds your approved kit; the hiring manager (or the new starter) submits a size and delivery address, budget rules apply automatically, and HR stops being a logistics desk.

Employee onboarding kit FAQs

What HR teams ask us most often about welcome kits.

What should an employee onboarding kit include?

The test is month-three usefulness: a good notebook, a pen, drinkware, and a garment in the right size outperform novelty items every time. Add a welcome card — it’s the cheapest item and the most photographed.

How much does an employee welcome kit cost?

Entry kits run R75–R200 per person, standard kits R200–R500, executive kits R500–R1,200+, depending on contents and quantity. Confirmed on quote within 24 hours.

Can you send kits to remote employees?

Yes — kits can be delivered to your office or to individual addresses; options and costs are confirmed on quote. Standard delivery is 3–5 working days nationwide, overnight at a charge.

Is there a minimum order?

No. One new hire is a normal order — your first branding position is free; additional positions carry a R400 setup fee, itemised on your quote.

How long do kits take?

3–5 working days from artwork approval, plus delivery. First-time setups take slightly longer than top-ups because artwork gets approved once; after that, reorders are quick.

Can each new hire get the right garment size?

Yes — sizes are collected per recipient, and full size runs are supplied. Ongoing hiring works best through a corporate store where starters select their own size.
