The perfect onboarding box: A sustainable start for new employees

Get off to a successful start with the right onboarding box

Onboarding new employees is a crucial phase in welcoming them from the start and integrating them into the corporate culture. A well-designed onboarding box can play a major role here. It not only makes it easier to get started, but also increases the motivation and retention of new team members.

In this article, we'll show you why an onboarding box is a worthwhile investment, how it contributes to employer branding, and the benefits of sustainable merchandise products.

What belongs in an onboarding box?

An onboarding box should be more than just a collection of giveaways. It should have a clear connection to corporate culture and give new employees the feeling of being part of the team right from the start. Typical content includes personalized articles such as:

- T-shirts or hoodies with the company logo

- Notebooks and pens in the corporate design

- A welcome card with a personal message

- Practical items such as USB sticks or cups for everyday use

In addition, it makes sense to include additional information about the company and important contacts to make it easier to get started. The better the onboarding box is tailored to the corporate culture, the more positive the first impression will be. You can find an overview of our articles here.

Sustainable merchandise for onboarding boxes

An important aspect of designing an onboarding box is sustainability. In times when environmentally conscious action is becoming more and more important, it is crucial to use sustainable products for employee gifts as well. Sustainable merchandise not only shows a sense of responsibility, but also strengthens the trust of new employees in the company.

We have a variety of environmentally friendly products that are perfect for your employees' onboarding box. From organic cotton shirts to warm socks, all of our items are made under fair conditions and from environmentally friendly materials. In this way, you can be sure that your onboarding box is not only well received, but also makes a positive contribution to the environment.

Onboarding boxes as part of employer branding

An onboarding box is a powerful tool for communicating company values and employer brand right at the start of the employment relationship. Personalized merchandise that is tailored to the corporate identity helps to position the company as an attractive employer. New employees immediately feel integrated and valued through well-thought-out onboarding gifts. This not only increases motivation, but also long-term commitment to the company.

By investing in high-quality onboarding boxes, you create a positive first experience that will shape your company's image in the long term. The new team members recognize that the company not only values professional onboarding, but also employee satisfaction.

Motivation through personalized onboarding packages

Onboarding packages, which have been put together with care and consideration, have a major impact on motivating new employees. They give the feeling that the company cares about everyone. Personalized items in particular, such as corporate design T-shirts or products specifically tailored to them, create an emotional bond. An onboarding gift that goes beyond purely functional aspects and has a personal touch ensures that new employees feel welcomed and valued right from the start.

The option to individually adapt the Onboarding Box items, for example to the colors of the company or to specific teams, also strengthens the sense of community and promotes identification with the company.

Long-term benefits of onboarding boxes

Investing in a well-thought-out onboarding box pays off in the long term. On the one hand, it strengthens employee loyalty and ensures that new employees are integrated and motivated more quickly. On the other hand, it contributes to a positive perception of the company — both internally and externally. Successful onboarding shows that the company values employee satisfaction, which in turn has a positive effect on the working environment and productivity.

In addition, onboarding boxes have a long-term effect on employer branding. Employees who feel welcomed and well looked after right from the start often speak positively about their experiences in the new company, which strengthens the company's image and attracts future talent.

Conclusion: Onboarding boxes as a strategic tool

An onboarding box is much more than just a nice welcome gift. It is a strategic tool for motivating and retaining new employees right from the start. By using sustainable merchandise and individually designed onboarding gifts, you can not only strengthen your corporate culture, but also make a positive contribution to the environment.

Take the opportunity to establish well-thought-out onboarding packages as part of your employer branding. Invest in high-quality, personalized and sustainable onboarding boxes and make the first day of your new employees an unforgettable experience.

FAQ

What shipping options are available to me?

We offer various shipping options, from standard to express. Depending on your location and the urgency of your order, we can arrange custom shipping solutions for you. Delivery to several locations is also possible.

How can I get personalized samples for our products?

For orders of 500 pieces or more, we will create a paid sample on request after the order has been placed. For small orders, we can send you a package with various customer projects. You can easily book this package here.

What does sustainable production mean at Das Merch?

Sustainability is at the core of our brand. We use materials from ethically responsible sources almost exclusively (more than 95% of all orders) and work with production partners who are committed to environmentally friendly practices. In addition to sustainable materials, all textiles are produced in the EU. We have a personal relationship with our production partners and employ a tailor shop with around 10 employees in Fafe, Portugal. In addition, we only work with GOTS-certified printing companies. If you want to know more, click here.

Can I reorder my merchandise exactly the same even after a long period of time?

Since we manufacture the products directly and do not use blanks from other brands, we can still produce your desired product for several years. Should a material or accessory no longer be available from one of our production partners for any reason, we will find an individual solution for you with our team in Portugal.

What design options does Das Merch have?

Feel free to try out our configurator to see how your design looks best on the various products. However, if you have any specific questions, feel free to contact our team with your concerns.

How can I get an offer for my merchandise?

The fastest way is, of course, our configurator. Live pricing is integrated there, so you can see how the price changes with every design change. If you need a written offer, please contact us using this form.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQs)?

Our minimum order quantities start at 50 pieces per design. This means that you can order a t-shirt or hoodie in different sizes, but you must buy 50 pieces of the same T-shirt in the same color with the same design. For socks, we have a minimum quantity of 300 pairs per size range (e.g. 39-42 or 43-46). Take a look at our configurator. There you can see exactly how much your design costs in production.

How long does it take on average for my order to be delivered?

Delivery times vary depending on product type and order quantity. We can deliver some products such as T-shirts and hoodies in our standard colors in around 4 weeks, but in principle, you should always plan for 8 weeks. For specific time estimates depending on your order, please contact our customer service.
