Design team kit — to the studio rhythm

Contents, price and lead times when the choice is driven by respect for the detail: first impression balanced against budget.

What the Design team kit is

The design team kit is the studio’s daily life: hoodie, notebook, desk mat and pen for sketches and reviews. The kit is handed over together with the studio team and follows one rule: on the new person’s first day the brand must be felt physically.

The Design team kit 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 respect for the detail.

Contents and decoration

The core of the set: hoodies, branded notebooks, desk mats, mouse pads and pens. Decoration follows the item: print or embroidery for tees and hoodies, engraving or pad printing for deskware.

For the Design team kit, the planning cost per employee is 3500–13000 AMD (excluding 20% VAT), with an annual volume of 40–250 pcs. For senior tiers we propose premium items; for large volumes, a stored buffer for the next intake wave.

When it is handed over

A designer’s desk is the showcase of their work, and the desk mat becomes part of it. The hoodie is the team’s informal uniform, and the notebook paper is chosen so markers do not bleed through.

The risk we watch for: The risk is detail quality: a poorly printed gift is spotted instantly by a designer. That is why the Design team kit is kept packed in stock, and the size matrix is refreshed after every intake wave.

Fulfilment and lead times

Producing the Design team kit takes 4–8 working days, or 3–5 on rush handling after artwork approval. For the summer intern wave we start production in advance so the packs are ready at kickoff.

In corporate companies the kit is usually waiting at the desk on the very first working day. Delivery is 24–48 hours in Yerevan, 3–5 working days to the regions via HayPost or 1–2 days via SPS Express, and for remote staff FedEx, DHL or Onex to individual addresses. Every Design team kit shipment is tracked on one list.
