Employee merch, welcome packs and event merch

Employee merch is usually put together in a rush: a new hire starts on Monday, the conference is a month away, and mockups are still bouncing around email. With confeek you build the whole set in your browser on 3D models: notebook, travel mug, T-shirt, tote bag, each with your logo and brand colours. The mockup is easy to show your manager, and with a promo campaign employees choose their own version through a personal link.

Build a welcome pack online

A welcome pack is the first thing a new hire holds from the company. It should feel consistent: same colours, same logo, things people actually use. Each item is built separately but in one style, and you see how the set works together before ordering.

A typical pack mixes work and everyday items: a notebook or notepad for the first weeks, a pen, a travel mug, a T-shirt and a tote bag. Stickers add a lighter touch and end up on laptops.

Merch for teams and events

For a company party, team building or trade show, merch needs to stand out. T-shirts make the team visible in a crowd; tote bags with a large print keep going around town long after the event. Wristbands suit outings and races, with colour working as a team or shift code. Thermoses serve field teams well. For offices and stands, the catalogue also has a sofa and armchair in brand colours.

Promo campaigns: employees build their own

One identical set for everyone isn’t always the best gift. Some want a thermos, others a T-shirt, and sizes differ.

  1. Set the limitsYou give the confeek team a list of products, limits and recipients, and the campaign is set up from it.
  2. Employees get linksEach person receives a personal one-time link by email and opens it by signing in with that address.
  3. Everyone builds their ownEmployees see only the allowed products and choose within their limit.
  4. Requests are moderatedEach request is reviewed, status history is kept, and production gets its own job sheet.

Getting sign-off

Someone else usually approves the merch budget. Email yourself the mockup, a PDF with the render, options and quantity, and forward it. After ordering, download the approval sheet in your account, sign it and upload the scan. The QR code on the sheet is checked against the current order, so an outdated version won’t pass.

Tips for corporate merch

  • Check your logo on dark and light items: 3D shows where it gets lost.
  • Collect T-shirt sizes early: the unisex range runs from XS to XXL.
  • A single notebook sample can be ordered before the full run.
  • The minimum run depends on the product and branding method and comes in the reply to your request.

Frequently asked questions

How does an employee pick their merch in a promo campaign?
They get a personal link by email, sign in with that address and build their version from the allowed products within the limit. The request then goes to moderation.
How do I show the mockup to my manager?
Request the mockup by email: you get a PDF with the render, options and quantity to forward as is.
Can I order a sample first?
The notebook configurator has a sample switch, so you can order one piece before the main run.
