Branded Gift Packs UK: Custom Kitted Sets, Eco Merchandise & Corporate Gifting

Looking to make onboarding, events, or client gifting genuinely memorable? Branded gift packs—also called curated merchandise sets—bring together multiple high-use items in one premium, fully branded experience. With thousands of products to choose from and expert in-house printing (laser engraving, embroidery and UV print), Drayton makes it simple to design custom kitted gift packs that last.

Why Branded Gift Packs Work for Modern Teams & Clients

Single giveaways are forgettable. Branded merchandise gift packs deliver impact at every stage—anticipation, unboxing, and daily use. A typical kit might pair a reusable water bottle, an eco notebook, and a laser-engraved pen, with optional personalised apparel or tech accessories. The result? Higher perceived value, stronger brand recall, and consistent presentation across locations and teams.

• Onboarding kits for new starters that showcase culture from day one.
• Corporate gift packs for account renewals, partner thank-yous and PR drops.
• Conference & exhibition kits for sales enablement and VIP hosting.
• Seasonal corporate gifting that aligns with brand values—especially eco.

Eco-Friendly Gift Packs: Make Sustainability the Hero

If your goal is to align with ESG targets and modern buyer expectations, build your kits around eco promotional products. Popular sustainable choices include:

Tip: reinforce sustainability with recyclable packaging—kraft mailers, FSC sleeves and paper void fill—so the entire experience feels responsible.

How to Build a High-Impact Corporate Gift Pack (Step-by-Step)

1) Start with the audience & purpose

Is this for new employee onboarding kits, client thank-you sets, or a trade show VIP pack? Define the outcome: adoption, retention, or buzz. Your goal will shape the product mix and packaging approach.

2) Choose a hero product

Pick one item to anchor the value—often a double-walled reusable bottle, premium hoodie, or wireless charger. Then add complementary pieces to round out daily use: a notebook + pen, tote, and small tech accessory.

3) Select the right print method

Laser engraving for metal drinkware, embroidery for apparel, UV print for high-colour surfaces. In-house production ensures Pantone accuracy and consistency across items, which is essential for large rollouts.

4) Prioritise eco where possible

Swap plastic for recycled fabrics, paper for FSC options, and non-recyclable fillers for paper-based alternatives. Your kit becomes a statement of values while reducing waste.

5) Design packaging that people keep

Magnetic gift boxes, belly bands, tissue paper and a welcome card elevate the experience. Branded sleeves help multi-office rollouts feel consistent—essential for global teams.

6) Plan fulfilment early

Whether shipping to one HQ or hundreds of home addresses, plan for UK/EU fulfilment, stock holding and staged releases. Ask about our custom webstores & fulfilment for always-on ordering and brand control.

Pricing, Minimums & Timelines: What to Expect

Costs depend on items, decoration method and packaging. Many projects begin with a core set (e.g., bottle + notebook + tote) and scale up. Typical lead times are 2–4 weeks after artwork approval; rush options may be available. We support low minimums for pilot runs and bulk pricing for rollouts.

Fulfilment Options: From Single Site to Global Rollouts

Whether you need a one-off shipment or ongoing distribution, our fulfilment team manages storage, pick & pack, and carrier shipping. Ask about branded portals (custom webstores) for regional teams to order pre-approved corporate gift packs with consistent branding and reporting.
