New-HireKits
New-hire kits welcome employees before day one — a branded tee, cap, drinkware, and swag, bundled and shipped to their door. Set it up once and every hire gets the same first impression.
Teams that wear our work
From roofers and contractors to credit unions and churches — these teams show up in gear we made.
Make day one feel like they belong
A new-hire kit is the easiest culture win there is. Instead of handing someone a wrinkled shirt from a box during orientation, you ship a thought-out bundle — branded tee, cap, tumbler, and a few extras — to their door before their first day. We build the kit into your store once, and every new hire gets the same warm welcome automatically, whether you hire one a quarter or one a week.
Build a kit they'll actually use
Mix and match — we'll help you pick pieces people keep, not clutter they toss.
A soft branded tee
The centerpiece. A comfortable ring-spun or tri-blend tee people actually wear, not a scratchy giveaway shirt.
An embroidered cap
One-size-fits-most, so there's no sizing guesswork, and it gets worn out in the world — free advertising.
Drinkware
A tumbler or bottle that lands on a desk and stays there. Genuinely useful, and it photographs well for socials.
Small extras
Stickers, a notebook, a tote — the little touches that make a kit feel considered instead of cheap.
Bundled & shipped
We pack each kit and ship it to the new hire before day one, or to your office in bulk — your call.
Sized on demand
The new hire picks their own tee size from your store, so nothing shows up too big or too small.
Built for teams that reorder
Businesses and churches are who we know best — the groups with real deadlines, brand standards, and reorders an on-demand store is built for.
An always-open store for your team
We build you a private online store for company apparel — uniforms, swag, and everyday wear your team orders on demand. Embroidered in house, with your logo and colors on file so every reorder matches.
- On-demand uniforms & everyday wear
- Trade-show, conference & onboarding kits
- Embroidered in house, reorders on file
Merch stores for every ministry
The same on-demand store works for churches — volunteers, students, and campuses order their own gear without re-collecting sizes each season. Plus event tees, retreat gear, and mission-trip shirts.
- Volunteer & serve-team stores
- Student & youth merch
- Retreat & mission-trip gear
From logo to loading dock in four steps
No account managers, no runaround. Here's how an order runs.
Send your logo
Vector art is ideal, but a rough logo is fine — we'll clean it up and tell you what we need.
Approve a mockup
We return a free digital mockup and a clear quote.
We make them
Embroidered or printed on our own machines — no outsourcing, no surprises on quality.
Pick up or ship
Folded, counted, and sorted by size on the date we promised. Local pickup or shipped to your door.
The easy part is the logo. We sweat the rest.
Anyone can slap a logo on a shirt. We obsess over the things that actually decide whether you order again.
In-house everything
Printing, embroidery, and DTF all happen under one roof, so we own the quality and the timeline.
Real humans on art
A designer touches every order. We fix blurry logos and flag problems before they hit a shirt.
Honest minimums
None at all through a store. For one-time orders: 48 pieces on screen printing, 24 on embroidery, 12 on DTF — we'll steer you to whatever's actually cheaper.
Reorders that match
We keep your logo digitized and your thread colors on file, so next year's order looks exactly like this year's.

New-Hire Kits FAQs
The questions we get asked most — answered straight.
- What is a new-hire kit?
- A new-hire kit is a branded welcome bundle — usually a tee, cap, drinkware, and a few extras — that ships to a new employee before their first day. It makes people feel part of the team immediately and beats handing out swag from a cardboard box at orientation.
- What should go in an onboarding kit?
- Start with a soft branded tee, an embroidered cap, and a tumbler or bottle, then add small extras like stickers, a notebook, or a tote. The rule of thumb: include things people actually keep and use, not filler they'll toss.
- How much do new-hire kits cost?
- It depends on the pieces you include and the quantity. A simple tee-and-cap kit is inexpensive; adding premium drinkware or more items raises it. We'll price a few kit tiers so you can pick what fits your budget, with no surprise fees.
- Can kits ship straight to new employees?
- Yes. We can ship each kit directly to the new hire before their start date — handy for remote and multi-location teams — or send them to your office in bulk to hand out. You choose.
- Is there a minimum order for new-hire kits?
- No. Because we produce on demand, we can put together a single kit for one new hire or a batch for a hiring wave. Kits live in your company store, so you order them as you need them.
- Can we set up kits once and reorder automatically?
- Yes — that's the point. We build the kit into your store, keep your art and colors on file, and you reorder in one click every time someone new starts. Every hire gets the same kit, no reassembly required.
