Corporate swag programs fail when merchandise, packaging, and delivery are treated as separate purchases. A box can arrive without the right insert, a garment order can split sizes across recipients, or a launch date can arrive before decoration is approved. Teal Packaging gives buyers one quoting path for sourced merchandise, custom packaging, kit assembly, and ship-to-recipient coordination. You choose the audience, quantity, packaging direction, and delivery plan. Teal confirms the available configuration, timing, and price in the quote and digital proof.
This page is for teams planning employee gifts, event packs, customer thank-you shipments, or a recurring brand program. Start with the swag store page if your team needs a per-client branded storefront. For a single packaged drop, compare custom swag boxes. If each recipient needs a coordinated set, review branded kits.
What corporate swag can include
A useful program starts with a defined job. For new hires, that usually means a welcome shipment: printed mailer, note, sourced apparel. A conference team wants something smaller, a compact handout that protects a tumbler and leaves room for a card. Client campaigns push the other way, toward presentation packaging with a controlled quantity and a ship-to-recipient list. Teal can quote the packaging, sourced merchandise, assembly, and shipping scope together so the handoff is clear.
- Custom printed boxes, mailers, sleeves, or other packaging for a branded presentation.
- Sourced tumblers and hoodies when decoration, garment, color, size mix, packing, and timing are confirmed in the quote and proof.
- Kit assembly that groups selected merchandise and packaging into a defined recipient package.
- Ship-to-recipient coordination for an approved address list and delivery plan.
- Free dieline design and a digital proof before print for custom packaging.
Merchandise and packaging choices
Corporate swag is easier to manage when the brief separates the product from its presentation. Merchandise is sourced and configured for the order. Teal does not present tumblers or hoodies as items manufactured by Teal. A quote confirms the decoration method, garment or tumbler choice, available color direction, size mix, packing approach, and expected timing. Those details remain choices to approve, not assumed stock specifications.
Packaging has a separate decision path. The team can choose a mailer for a lightweight shipment, a folding carton for a structured presentation, or another custom package that fits the approved contents. Dimensions, materials, finishing, inserts, and closure are configured during quoting. Most custom packaging starts at 50 units. Specialty rigid packaging starts at 100 or more. Pricing from about $0.44 per unit at volume applies only to qualifying custom packaging, not to sourced merchandise, small runs, kits, or every configuration.
| Program need | Possible scope | What Teal confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Employee welcome | Mailer or box, sourced apparel, note, assembly | Package fit, size mix, decoration, and ship plan |
| Event handout | Compact package, sourced tumbler, printed insert | Quantity, packaging construction, packing, and delivery timing |
| Client shipment | Presentation box, selected merchandise, recipient shipping | Address file, assembly scope, proof, and quote schedule |
| Recurring program | Branded store, kits, packaging, and repeat orders | Store scope, per-order process, available configurations, and replenishment terms |
Quantity, pricing, and timing
Send the expected quantity, recipient count, destination mix, and target arrival date before asking for a firm price. A 50 unit packaging run can have a different structure and price from a 500 unit run. Sourced merchandise uses a 100 unit MOQ for tumblers and hoodies. If a program combines packaging with sourced items, Teal quotes each component and the assembly or shipping scope together.
Eligible in-house work may run in about 7 business days. Specialty imported work may take about 12 weeks. The range depends on product, quantity, decoration, packaging construction, and routing. Rush service is quoted by job and adds 7 to 25 percent when available. Teal has plants in West Chicago, Illinois and Guangzhou, so the quote can reflect the selected production path rather than imply one universal origin.
Free US shipping is part of the stated service offer, while the quote still needs the shipment scope and recipient plan. Ask about split shipments, multiple destinations, and any unusual packing requirement before approval. Those details can change the operational work even when the item list stays the same.
Ordering corporate swag
- Share the audience, use case, quantity, recipient destinations, target arrival date, and budget direction.
- List the merchandise and packaging you want reviewed. For sourced items, include decoration, garment or tumbler preferences, size mix, colors, and packing requests as choices for confirmation.
- Review the quote for MOQ, unit and project costs, shipping scope, timing range, and rush fee if applicable.
- Approve the free dieline and digital proof before print. Do not release custom packaging to production until the proof reflects the final artwork and package direction.
- Confirm assembly and ship-to-recipient details, then use the approved schedule to coordinate the program.
Make the brief easy to quote
A concise brief prevents the common gaps that slow corporate swag. Name the recipient type, tell Teal whether the shipment supports onboarding, an event, or a client campaign, and explain whether every recipient gets the same set. Include the number of addresses or the expected distribution pattern. Add logo files, preferred colors, package references, and the date the shipment must arrive. If the art is not ready, Teal can begin with the dimensions, contents, and brand direction needed for a dieline.
For a storefront-led program, use the company swag store service. For packaged gifts, the swag box route keeps the discussion focused on box structure and presentation. For a recipient-ready bundle, the employee welcome kit route covers assembly. If tumblers or hoodies are central, review the 100 unit requirements on branded tumblers and company hoodies.

Send the audience, quantity, item list, destination pattern, and target arrival date to request a quote. Teal confirms sourced merchandise choices in the proof and returns a defined packaging and shipping scope before anything goes to production.
