Client gifting becomes difficult when the packaging, merchandise, assembly, and recipient list are handled as separate jobs. A branded item can arrive without a clear presentation plan, or a box can be approved before anyone confirms how the pieces will fit. Custom client holiday gifts give sales, account, and marketing teams one packaging brief that can be planned around quantity, recipients, artwork, and the in-hands window.
Teal Packaging can quote custom packaging, sourced merch when selected and quoted, kit assembly, and ship-to-recipient coordination. Most custom packaging starts at 50 units. Teal provides free dieline design and a digital proof before print, giving your team a checkpoint for the artwork and packout before production is released. The exact scope remains visible in the quote, which is important when different departments approve the gift and the recipient list.
Build the Gift Around the Relationship
The right client holiday gifts depend on the audience and the handoff. A folding carton fits a compact product or a printed note, and a mailer combines presentation with shipment in one box. Higher-touch programs tend toward a rigid format; specialty rigid boxes start at 100 or more units. Merch items such as tumblers and hoodies are sourced and use a 100-unit MOQ when included in the quote.
Start by listing what each recipient should receive, whether the contents are identical, and where each kit should ship. Teal can then review the packaging structure, the selected merch, the assembly scope, and the ship-to plan. The final configuration is confirmed during quoting. Filling, returns, software, and inventory integrations are not assumed as part of the packaging scope.
Client Gift Program Options
| Program component | Use case | Details to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Custom printed box | A consistent branded presentation for every client | Finished size, opening style, quantity, artwork |
| Mailer format | A gift that will ship directly to each recipient | Packed size, address count, carrier plan, packout |
| Sourced merch | A tumbler, hoodie, or other quoted item alongside packaging | Item, decoration, sizes, quantity, 100-unit MOQ |
| Kit assembly | Multiple approved components packed as one gift | Component list, insertion order, labeling, destinations |
| Ship-to-recipient | A distributed client list rather than one bulk delivery | Recipient data, delivery range, exception handling |
Quantity, Pricing, and Timing
Most custom packaging begins at 50 units. A rigid box starts at 100 or more units, and sourced merch such as tumblers or hoodies uses a 100-unit MOQ. Pricing changes with the package structure, print coverage, selected merchandise, assembly work, quantity, and number of destinations. About $0.44 per unit may apply to qualifying high-volume packaging configurations, but it does not cover sourced merch, rigid boxes, small runs, or every assembled kit.
Set the in-hands date first, then work backward through recipient list approval, artwork, digital proof, production, assembly, and transit. Eligible in-house packaging work may take about 7 business days. Specialty imported work can take about 12 weeks. Sourced merch and multi-address fulfillment may require a separate quoted range. Rush work is quoted by job and may add 7 to 25 percent.
Teal offers free US shipping on qualifying packaging orders. The quote will define destinations and delivery scope. A multi-address program still needs a realistic allowance for data approval and transit. Do not state a hard arrival promise before the job, destinations, and production route are confirmed.
Ordering Steps for a Client Gift Program
- Provide the recipient count, ship-to locations, required in-hands range, and whether all kits use the same packout.
- List the packaging, product, note, and merch components. Identify any sourced item, size assortment, or decoration requirement.
- Request free dieline design or send approved artwork. Teal prepares the packaging layout for review.
- Review the quote and digital proof. Confirm copy, logo placement, components, quantities, assembly order, and delivery scope.
- Approve the defined job. Teal schedules packaging production, quoted assembly, and recipient shipping according to the confirmed plan.
Give the team an owner for recipient data and an owner for art approval. These decisions can hold a seasonal program longer than box production. A clean brief also makes it easier to re-quote when the number of clients, destinations, or merchandise choices changes.
What to Include in the Brief
Send the packed dimensions, quantity, artwork status, component list, ship-to pattern, and desired in-hands range. If you want a note or a specific opening sequence, describe it before the dieline is prepared. If the program includes sourced merch, identify the item and quantity separately from the packaging count. That distinction keeps MOQ, timing, and price assumptions visible.
If several client groups receive different kits, identify each packout and the quantity for that group. Teal can quote one common box with varied contents or separate formats when the dimensions require it. Confirm whether the assembly team should place a printed note, seal the box, or label a destination. Any such work should appear in the quote rather than being assumed.
Review the digital proof with the person who owns the brand and the person who owns the recipient experience. Check the front panel, inside message, product placement, and ship-to labels. If the gift includes a sourced item, check item availability and decoration details before approving the complete kit.
If the program needs a broader corporate arrangement, compare the corporate holiday kits page. If you need a combined packaging and merchandise direction, see custom swag boxes. Those related pages can help separate a client-specific gift plan from a wider employee or event program.
Keep the Scope Clear
Approve presentation and delivery together, then hold the quote to it: every component and boundary should appear in writing. To start, send the recipient count, component list, artwork status, and in-hands range in one request. Teal prepares the proof and coordinates the quoted assembly and destinations from there, without turning an unconfirmed idea into a production promise.
