New-joiner welcome pack — the first-day kit
Contents, price and lead times when the choice is driven by building the first impression: first impression balanced against budget.
What the New-joiner welcome pack is
The new-joiner welcome pack is the set waiting at the desk on day one: a tee, a notebook, a pen and the onboarding papers. The kit is handed over together with the HR team and follows one rule: on the new person’s first day the brand must be felt physically.
The New-joiner welcome 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 building the first impression.
Contents and decoration
The core of the set: T-shirts, branded notebooks, pens, ceramic mugs and canvas totes. Decoration follows the item: print or embroidery for tees and hoodies, engraving or pad printing for deskware.
For the New-joiner welcome pack, the planning cost per employee is 3500–12000 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
In September Yerevan companies open several positions at once, and every joiner looks at the desk on the first morning: is there a piece of the brand? The pack is assembled before the wave and held in stock, so a late offer still gets its kit.
The risk we watch for: The risk is wave density: several late offers at once drain the stock before the month ends. That is why the New-joiner welcome pack is kept packed in stock, and the size matrix is refreshed after every intake wave.
Fulfilment and lead times
Producing the New-joiner welcome pack 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 New-joiner welcome pack shipment is tracked on one list.
