Why it matters
The first box they open should feel like your company.
People decide how a new job feels long before the first review. A welcome pack lands in that window — on the doorstep, on the desk, in the first week.
Done well, it says you were expected. It carries the brand people are joining, gives them things they actually use, and makes a remote starter feel part of the same team as the people in the office.
That’s why we treat new starter packs as part of the employee experience, not a box of freebies.

Questions
Employee welcome packs, answered.
Contents, delivery, storage and minimums.
What is an employee welcome pack?
An employee welcome pack is a branded box or bag of useful items given to new starters, usually before or on their first day. It typically combines merchandise, printed welcome material and packaging, so the first physical thing a new employee receives feels like the company.
What should be included in a new starter pack?
Most new starter packs include a notebook and pen, a reusable bottle or tumbler, a branded clothing item such as a hoodie or T-shirt, and a welcome card. Many teams add a bag, lanyard, tech accessories or desk items, and premium gifts for senior hires. We build the pack around the role and budget.
Can welcome packs be sent directly to employees at home?
Yes. Cyan can deliver packs to a single office, to multiple sites, or individually to home addresses for remote and hybrid starters.
Can Cyan store welcome packs for future starters?
Yes. We can hold branded stock and packaging, then kit and dispatch packs as new people join, either on request or in scheduled batches.
Can we mix different products and clothing sizes in one programme?
Yes. Packs can vary by role, location or seniority, and clothing sizes can be managed per starter so each person receives the right fit.
Can welcome packs include printed welcome cards or documents?
Yes. Cyan also manages print, so welcome cards, letters, handbooks and inserts can be produced and packed alongside the merchandise.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
There is no single minimum for welcome packs. Minimums depend on the products chosen and the branding method, so we confirm them with your quote. Holding stock is often the practical route for ongoing hiring in small numbers.
Can you create premium onboarding packs for senior hires?
Yes. Premium onboarding packs can use higher-value products, designer gifts and bespoke presentation packaging for leadership hires, client-facing roles and milestone programmes.
