Corporate Gifting Questions. Answered Honestly.
What is your minimum order quantity for corporate gifting?
For corporate gifting — branded merchandise like mugs, totes, bottles, notebooks, lanyards, caps, and most ready-range items — our MOQ is just 25 units. This makes us accessible for small teams and one-off gifting programs. For fully custom manufactured products — like a custom-designed backpack, bespoke laptop bag, or apparel made to your exact spec — the MOQ is 100 units. Contact us with what you need and we'll confirm the exact MOQ for your specific product.
How much do custom branded corporate gifts cost per unit?
Pricing depends on product, quantity, branding method, and materials. As a general guide in USD: branded merchandise (mugs, totes, bottles, notebooks, lanyards) starts from around $2–$4 per unit at 50+ pieces. Branded laptop backpacks range from $8–$18 per unit at 100+ pieces. Premium executive gift sets range higher. All pricing includes custom logo branding. Corporate gifting orders start from just 25 units — fully custom manufactured orders from 100 units. We send a detailed quote within 24 hours of your brief.
Are you actually a factory or a platform/reseller?
We are the factory. Optima Bags owns and operates our own 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Kundli, Haryana, India — the same one we have run since 1995. We do not subcontract to unknown suppliers. Every bag is cut, stitched, printed, and QC'd on our own premises by our own team. You can visit us — we welcome factory audits from procurement teams before placing orders.
What eco-friendly materials can you use for corporate gifts?
We work with rPET (made from recycled plastic bottles), organic cotton (GOTS-traceable), jute, recycled canvas, natural canvas, recycled polyester, and bamboo-based accessories. We can provide material certification and full supply chain origin documentation for your ESG reporting. Eco options are available across every product category we manufacture.
What branding methods are available for corporate gifts?
We offer screen printing (1–4 colour), embroidery (ideal for backpacks and premium items), rubber patch logos, woven labels, heat transfer printing, and sublimation printing for full-colour designs. We'll advise the best method based on your product, logo, and budget. Digital branded mockups are provided free before production begins so you can approve the look before we make anything.
How long does production and delivery take for bulk corporate orders?
Standard production time is 3–4 weeks from sample approval. For custom-manufactured Diwali orders we recommend placing by August; ready-to-brand Diwali hampers can be ordered online until Diwali. Shipping to EU takes 10–14 working days by sea freight or 3–5 days by air. Within India, delivery is typically 5–7 working days after dispatch. We handle all export documentation in-house including HS codes, certificates of origin, and compliance paperwork.
Can you handle Diwali gifting season volumes for large Indian companies?
Yes — Diwali is our strongest season in the home market. We supply branded corporate gift sets, backpacks, totes, and merchandise to companies across Delhi NCR, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad with full GST documentation. For Diwali 2026 (8 November), you can
build a corporate Diwali hamper online with dry fruit thals, jar trays, baskets, branded gifts and your logo, see the per-hamper price live and order from 10 hampers right up to Diwali. We ship to one office or piece by piece to each employee, client or customer.
Do you ship to EU, UK, and USA with customs handled?
Yes. We export to 26+ countries including Germany, UK, France, Netherlands, USA, UAE, Singapore, and Australia. We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping where we handle customs clearance and pay all import duties on your behalf — your order arrives with no additional charges. India's 0% EU import duty makes this especially cost-effective for European companies sourcing branded corporate merchandise.
What do you recommend for employee welcome kits?
The most popular employee onboarding kits we produce combine a branded laptop backpack (practical, used daily), an eco notebook (recycled cover, logo on cover), and a branded water bottle or mug. This three-item kit keeps per-unit cost manageable while delivering high perceived value. For tech companies we often add a branded power bank. All items come in a coordinated colour scheme with your logo. We'll build you a kit recommendation and mockup based on your brief and budget — just get in touch.
What bags work best as conference and trade show promotional items?
From our experience producing promotional merchandise for conferences across India, EU, and US: cotton or canvas tote bags have the highest retention rate — people actually use them beyond the event. Drawstring bags work well for sporting events and youth audiences. Branded backpacks are premium and create the strongest brand impression but cost more per unit. For trade shows on a budget, a 5oz cotton tote with a strong print is the most cost-effective option that attendees will keep and use. We can advise on the right choice based on your audience and budget.
