Kit planning
Plan your next PR box, swag drop or welcome kit
Turn your kit idea into a brief Teal can quote. Work out the contents, packaging, quantities and delivery plan before you commit.
What do you need to work out?
Prepare the box specification, check a quote or plan stock for your next group of new hires.

Open resourceHow do you plan an employee welcome-kit program?
Start with the employee group, the required arrival date and the complete contents. Then work backward through stock, assembly and delivery. A kit is ready only when every required component and the agreed packing instructions are available. A count of empty boxes does not establish readiness.
For a recurring program, keep one approved specification and a separate schedule of cohorts. Record revisions when a product, artwork, size mix or destination changes. This gives HR, procurement and the fulfillment team the same version to work from.
| Decision | Start here | Take to the next team |
|---|---|---|
| What exactly are we buying? | Kit specification worksheet | Contents, quantities, dimensions, artwork revision and sample criteria. |
| Do the quotes cover the same work? | Kit budget calculator | Comparable scope, cash commitment, remaining stock and unresolved charges. |
| Can we support the next hiring cohort? | Inventory planner | Component shortages and replenishment quantities by assembly deadline. |
| Will the presentation survive delivery? | Shipping protection guide | The actual filled pack-out, review criteria and approval record. |
| What can we defend in a business case? | Buyer evidence ledger | Source population, dates and limits attached to each claim. |
Assign four decisions before requesting a quote
Have People Operations confirm eligibility, cohort counts and the date employees need the kit. Give a brand owner responsibility for artwork and product substitutions. Have procurement or finance confirm the purchasing entity, approved budget and required quote scope. Name an operations owner for receiving, assembly, dispatch and exception reporting. These are suggested responsibilities; one person can hold several roles.
For multiple offices, distinguish kits delivered to a receiving desk from kits sent to individual homes. Record the number of destinations, which office accepts bulk deliveries and who distributes them locally. Keep employee addresses in your approved recipient workflow, outside the planning worksheets.
Keep the welcome kit in its proper role
Gallup's onboarding guidance includes a welcome package alongside manager involvement, relationships and learning. A kit supports the welcome; it does not replace access to equipment, role expectations or a manager's first-week plan.
Use the annual employee gifting budget planner to combine onboarding, milestones and holiday sends by quarter. Keep that annual forecast separate from a supplier quote for one production run.
For recurring company programs, explore 0xteal's company-store and kit workflows. The platform is in early access. Bring a real cohort, an approved kit specification and your exception process to a demo so the review covers the work your team needs done.
Put your plan into production.
Teal can supply the custom packaging, assemble products you provide, or source and fulfill the complete kit. Tell us the quantity, contents, destinations and required date so the quote covers your actual program.
