What to Include in an Employee Welcome Pack?

Starting a new job is a pivotal moment. It’s that exciting first step into a fresh chapter—and as an employer, you want to make sure it begins on the right foot. A thoughtfully crafted employee welcome pack is more than just a formality; it’s your brand’s first impression, bundled in a bag.

At CraftClothing, we believe that first impressions deserve better than a plain folder and a pen. That’s why our personalized employee kits are designed to represent your company’s identity, culture, and commitment to excellence. Here’s what you should consider including to turn a welcome kit into a lasting brand experience.

1. Custom Apparel for Everyday Workwear

Nothing says “welcome to the team” better than gear that makes your new hire feel like they belong. Include personalized items such as:

• Crafted Polo Shirts or Button-Downs – Sleek, branded, and versatile for work or casual settings. Choose breathable materials like pique knit or Dri-Fit blends that are stylish and comfortable for daily wear.

• Corporate Jackets or Pullovers – Great for chilly offices or those always on the go. These make for a smart and practical addition to your welcome kit.

Giving branded apparel early on helps eliminate “what to wear” stress and instantly builds unity within your team.

2. Durable, Functional Bags

Every employee needs a dependable bag. It could be for daily commuting, meetings, or remote work essentials. Consider:

• Custom Work Bags or Laptop Backpacks – Functional, ergonomic, and professional. Our bags can be tailored with compartments, water-resistant materials, and your company logo.

• Personalized Pouches – Great for small essentials, tech gear, or hygiene kits. They’re compact, stylish, and perfect for daily use or corporate travel.

When designed well, these items become walking billboards for your brand—practical and promotional in one sleek package.

3. Office Essentials That Actually Get Used

Pens and notepads are welcome additions, but adding a unique twist makes them unforgettable. Try:

• Bamboo Pens or Eco Notebooks – Sustainable, stylish, and a great nod to environmental responsibility.

• ID Lanyards, Keychains, or Mousepads – Simple, but when customized, they make employees feel truly part of the team.

The goal is utility without being boring. Everyday items are more impactful when they feel personal.

4. Drinkware for Hydration on the Go

A personalized tumbler or water bottle isn’t just a gift—it’s a daily companion. Ideal for office, home, or weekend hikes, our custom drinkware:

• Keeps drinks hot or cold with double-wall insulation

• Features your logo using long-lasting sublimation or laser engraving

• Helps your employees reduce single-use plastics

Branded drinkware makes hydration stylish and on-brand.

5. Welcome Letter or Company Handbook

Round off your kit with a personal touch. A letter from leadership or a compact company handbook lets new hires know what you stand for and what’s expected of them. It also sets the tone for your culture.

Consider adding a small card that outlines your mission, values, and vision—especially if you’re handing out high-quality personalized employee kits. It’s a chance to make an emotional connection from day one.
