Contractor starter pack — at project entry
Contents, price and lead times when the choice is driven by the project boundary: first impression balanced against budget.
What the Contractor starter pack is
The contractor starter pack marks entry into the project: polo, name badge, lanyard and notebook, together with access rights. The kit is handed over together with the procurement team and follows one rule: on the new person’s first day the brand must be felt physically.
The Contractor starter pack plays a double role: practical, so the person is equipped on day one, and cultural, so the team and its values arrive without slogans. The driver is the project boundary.
Contents and decoration
The core of the set: polo shirts, name badges, lanyards and branded notebooks. Decoration follows the item: print or embroidery for tees and hoodies, engraving or pad printing for deskware.
For the Contractor starter pack, the planning cost per employee is 2500–9000 AMD (excluding 20% VAT), with an annual volume of 50–400 pcs. For senior tiers we propose premium items; for large volumes, a stored buffer for the next intake wave.
When it is handed over
Project teams take contractors in waves, and entry day has to tell them apart inside the team. The badge and lanyard follow security rules, while the polo and notebook stay on after the project ends.
The risk we watch for: The risk is security requirements: without the right badge the contractor will not pass the entry point. That is why the Contractor starter pack is kept packed in stock, and the size matrix is refreshed after every intake wave.
