What goes into a Sterling gift kit
Every kit starts with your goal, not our catalog. Onboarding kits are built around first-day impact — apparel sized to the person, a branded notebook or tech accessory, and a printed welcome card, all boxed to be opened on camera during a remote first day. Client gift kits lean premium: fewer items, better materials, custom inserts that reference the relationship (a closed deal, a renewal, a conference meeting). Executive and milestone kits go further still — engraved items, presentation boxes, and white-glove shipping to a home address instead of an office.
We source apparel, drinkware, tech accessories, notebooks, and packaging from our vetted US vendor network, then assemble and kit everything in-house before it ships — so the box that arrives looks like one considered object, not six separate products dropped in a mailer.
Built for how People Ops and HR actually operate
- One dedicated account manager for the entire kit program — no support queue, no re-explaining your brand guidelines to a new rep every order.
- Pre-production sample approval before any volume run, so the kit you approve is exactly the kit that ships.
- Flexible delivery: ship a full batch at once for an all-hands event, or trickle-ship automatically to each new hire as they join.
- A private collection link for sizes and shipping addresses — no spreadsheet, no chasing employees for their T-shirt size and home address.
- PO-based ordering and proper tax invoicing built for US enterprise procurement.

How pricing and timelines work
Kit pricing depends on item selection, quantity, and packaging complexity — there's no flat per-kit rate that means anything before we know what's inside the box. What we can commit to upfront: a itemized quote within 48 hours of your brief, a physical sample before any production run over 25 units, and tiered pricing that improves as your order volume grows. Most welcome-kit programs land in the $35–$120 per-kit range depending on contents; premium client gifting programs run higher.
