Make Every New Hire Feel Welcome

Welcome Kits That Do More Than Say Welcome

Most onboarding swag ends up in a desk drawer by the end of the first week. A branded building kit is different. It gives new hires something to do with their hands, something to display on their desk, and something they will actually talk about with coworkers. That combination, novelty, interactivity, and visual impact, makes custom building kits one of the most effective welcome gifts in the corporate gifting category.

Brick Works produces brick-based onboarding kits that are fully customized from the ground up. The color palette, the build design, and the packaging all reflect your brand. Every kit is printed in-house, which means quality control stays with our team from the first proof to its final form.

What Goes Into a Custom Onboarding Kit

Every Brick Works project starts with a consultation. Our team works with you to understand your brand identity, your culture, and the message you want a new hire to receive on their first day. From there, the process moves through concept development, design, production, and delivery.

Custom onboarding kits from Brick Works can include:

  • A branded brick building kit designed to reflect your company’s visual identity
  • Custom color matching to your brand palette within available brick color options
  • Branded packaging that extends the unboxing experience beyond the kit itself
  • Digital proofs and design previews at each stage so you see exactly what you are getting before production begins
  • Direct shipping to multiple office locations or individual addresses
The full process is collaborative and handled under one roof. You bring the brand guidelines. Our team brings the creativity and the production capability to make them into something a new hire will display with pride.

Why HR Teams Choose Brick Works for Employee Onboarding

Something People Keep, Not Discard

Generic onboarding gifts create a generic first impression. A custom building kit gives new hires a hands-on experience from the moment they open the box. Once built, the kit lives on a desk where it functions as a daily reminder of the company and the culture they joined. That kind of staying power is rare in corporate gifting.

In-House Printing for Consistent Quality

Every kit Brick Works produces is printed in-house using our own equipment. There is no outsourcing the production to a third party and hoping the colors match. What the digital proof shows is what arrives in the box. For HR teams who need to trust that 50 or 500 kits will all look the same, that consistency matters.

One Vendor from Concept to Delivery

Finding separate vendors for design, production, and packaging is one of the most common frustrations in the corporate gifting process. Brick Works handles all of it. Our team collaborates with you from the earliest concept stage through final delivery, which means fewer handoffs, clearer communication, and a finished product that holds together as a single branded experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with a custom employee onboarding kit from Brick Works?

The process starts with a free consultation. Brick Works will walk you through your brand guidelines, discuss the vision for the kit, and begin developing concepts based on what you share. Our team provides digital proofs and design previews so you can review and approve the direction before production begins. Please note that certain projects may be subject to a design deposit, which is refunded in full once approved to proceed to production.

Can Brick Works match my company's exact brand colors?

Brick Works can match your brand aesthetics, color palette, and overall visual identity as closely as possible within the available brick color options. Our in-house production team works from your brand guidelines to get the result as accurate as the medium allows. During the consultation, our team will discuss what is achievable and show you how your colors translate into the final kit design.

Do the kits come with branded packaging?

Yes, branded packaging is part of what Brick Works offers. The unboxing experience is an extension of the kit itself, and custom packaging ensures that the welcome gift feels cohesive from the outside of the box to the final build. Our team designs the packaging alongside the kit so everything arrives as a unified brand experience.

Can you ship onboarding kits directly to multiple locations or remote employees?

Yes, Brick Works can coordinate direct shipping to multiple office locations or individual employee addresses. This is especially useful for companies with distributed teams or remote workforces where new hires are not all starting from the same location. Shipping logistics are discussed during the project planning stage so delivery is factored into the production timeline.

How long does production take for a custom onboarding kit order?

Production timelines vary based on order volume, design complexity, and any customization details. Brick Works will provide a clear timeline estimate during the consultation phase before production begins. If your company has a specific onboarding date or hiring cycle to plan around, sharing that early helps our team build a schedule that works.

Is there a minimum order quantity for employee onboarding kits?

Minimum order quantities are discussed during the initial consultation based on the scope of the project. Brick Works works with companies across a range of team sizes, and our team can help determine the right order structure for your onboarding program. Reaching out for a consultation is the fastest way to get a specific answer based on your situation.

When a new hire opens a box on their first day and finds something genuinely creative and on-brand, it sets a tone that no employee handbook can. Brick Works helps companies make that moment count with custom building kits designed around your brand and built to be kept.
