Why This Matters
Your Team Remembers the Gift. Your Finance Team Remembers the Mess.
✦
Most Diwali gifting goes wrong in the same three places. A trader sources from four vendors and bills you a kitting margin on top. The hampers reach the office two days before the holiday with no time to fix a damaged lot. And nobody checks the food licence until somebody asks. We manufacture and pack under one roof, invoice once, and film the finished lot before it leaves the gate.
25Unit minimum, so a single department or a dealer list is enough
1Purchase order and one GST invoice for the entire program

Budget Planning
What Your Per-Head Budget Actually Buys

The ₹5,000 line your finance team will ask about Under Rule 3(7)(iv) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, gifts in kind from an employer to an employee are exempt up to an aggregate ₹5,000 per employee per financial year. Cross that figure and the value becomes a taxable perquisite in the employee's hands. This is why most Indian companies cap staff hampers just under ₹5,000, and why our third band stops at ₹4,999. Gifts to employees and clients are separately claimed by many companies as a business expense under Section 37(1) when invoices and recipient records are maintained. We are manufacturers, not tax advisors, so confirm both points with your finance team. What we give you is a clean GST invoice and a recipient-wise dispatch record to support it.
By Recipient
Gifting to a list not covered here? Send the brief on WhatsApp →
Every List Has a Different Job to Do.
✦
An employee hamper gets opened at home in front of family. A client hamper sits on a reception desk where competitors also send one. A dealer hamper decides next quarter's shelf space. Tell us the list and the headcount, and we structure the gift around the room it enters.
Employees and Plant Staff Volume gifting where per-head cost and delivery logistics decide everything. Food hampers travel well, land under the ₹5,000 perquisite line, and get shared with family. We split one run across multiple plants and offices with a packing list per location.
Clients and Key Accounts Your hamper competes with six others on the same desk. Structure and finish decide which one gets carried home. Add a card signed by the account owner and a named tag so the gift reads personal instead of procedural.
Dealers, Distributors, Channel Partners Channel gifting carries commercial weight and gets compared openly across the network. We produce tiered programs so your top slab receives a visibly better piece while the base slab still looks considered, all under one invoice.
Vendors and Supply Partners Vendor gifting stays modest by design and still needs to look intentional. Compact food boxes with clean branding do this job better than bulky hampers that cost more to ship than they signal.
Leadership, Board and VIP Small lists, high scrutiny, no room for a defect. We hand-finish these, film them individually, and hold the same 25 unit minimum so a 30 person board list is a real order rather than a favour.
Society, CSR and Community Diwali outreach to plant communities, security and housekeeping teams, and CSR partners. Sensible per-head cost, sturdy reusable packaging, and bulk delivery to a single site with a signed handover list.
Work-From-Home and Remote Teams Distributed teams need hampers at 300 home addresses, not 300 at head office. We pack individually, label per recipient, and ship to home addresses across India with tracking shared as one sheet.
Customer and Retail Campaigns Diwali purchase gifts, loyalty tier rewards and retail GWP. Retail-ready packaging, barcoded cartons, and delivery timed to your campaign start rather than the festival date.
Overseas Offices and NRI Clients We export daily. Diwali hampers reach the USA, UK, EU and UAE by air with documentation handled in-house and DDP terms available so nobody at the receiving end pays a surprise clearance bill.

The Calendar
We Build the Timeline Backward From 8 November.
✦
Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday 8 November, with Dhanteras on Friday 6 November. Most companies distribute in the week of 2 November, which means goods need to land by 30 October. Work back from there and the decision dates become obvious.
- Now to 10 October. Share your brief. Free digital mockup with your logo placement in 1 to 3 days. Revisions run live over WhatsApp until it matches.
- By 12 October. Sample approved, either as a physical sample couriered to you or a signed-off digital spec when the calendar is tight.
- 12 to 26 October. Production and packing in our SEDEX-audited facility. Food items filled and sealed under FSSAI licence with batch and expiry marking.
- 26 to 28 October. Video inspection footage sent to you. You approve, then pay the balance, then we dispatch. Your money follows your approval.
- 28 October to 2 November. Pan-India dispatch to offices, plants or individual home addresses, with a tracking sheet shared as one file.
- After 10 October. Later briefs still get quoted. Ready-stock and simplified builds are the route once the calendar tightens, so call rather than assume it is too late.
Proof at Every Step Free mockup before any payment. Sample before production. Detailed video of the finished lot before the balance falls due. Close-ups of sealing, branding, packing and box finish on your actual goods, not on a sample. Third-party inspection agencies are welcome. Factory visits at Kundli are open to every client, and a 45 minute drive from Delhi makes that realistic before you commit a five-figure or six-figure budget.
FAQ
Procurement Questions. Answered Straight.
✦
What is your minimum order for Diwali corporate gifting?
25 units. That covers a single department, a board list, or a dealer slab without forcing you into a 500 piece commitment. Fully bespoke items needing a custom mould or die carry a one-time tooling cost quoted upfront. Multiple tiers inside one program are fine, so a 25 piece leadership set and a 900 piece staff run travel on the same purchase order.
Do you have an FSSAI licence for food hampers?
Yes. Dry fruits, bakery items, mithai and chocolates are supplied under our FSSAI licence, with licence details printed on the pack as required. Every food pack carries batch marking, packed-on and best-before dates, allergen declarations and the licence number. We share the licence copy with your compliance or vendor onboarding team on request, before you raise the purchase order.
How long do the food items stay fresh?
Dry fruits and sealed nuts carry the longest window and travel best across India. Cookies, brownies, tea cakes and packaged mithai carry shorter shelf lives, so we schedule those to be filled and sealed close to dispatch rather than early in the run. We print the exact best-before date on every pack and plan the production calendar so your recipients get the full window rather than the tail end of it. Tell us your distribution date and we build the fill schedule around it.
Will we get a proper GST invoice for the whole program?
Yes. One GST invoice against one purchase order covering the goods, branding and packing. GST 07AADCO0979Q1ZQ. We complete standard vendor onboarding forms, share MSME and bank details, and provide a recipient-wise dispatch record your finance team can attach to the expense claim. Input credit treatment on gifts is a call for your tax advisor rather than for us, so we give you clean documentation and leave the position to your team.
Can you deliver to multiple offices, plants and home addresses?
Yes. Send one sheet with locations and quantities, or a recipient list with home addresses for remote teams. We pack per location, label per recipient where needed, and return a single tracking file rather than scattered courier numbers. Multi-city splits carry no assembly fee from us, since the packing happens on our line rather than at a third-party kitting agency.
How much branding goes on the gift?
As much or as little as you want. Recipients keep gifts with restrained branding and bin the ones that look like advertising, so we default to a debossed or foil-stamped logo on the box lid, a woven or printed label on fabric items, and a personalized card inside carrying a message from your leadership. Loud full-panel printing is available when a campaign needs it. Your logo placement appears on the free mockup before you pay anything.
Can each hamper carry an individual employee name?
Yes. Send the name list with your order and we add foil-printed or digitally printed name tags, individually addressed cards, and recipient-wise labelling on the outer pack. Personalization is applied on our own line rather than by a third party after shipping. Send the final list up to 7 days before dispatch and it still makes the schedule.
What is the last date to order for Diwali 2026?
10 October is the comfortable cut-off for custom hampers with branded packaging, against a distribution week starting 2 November. Standard hampers with lighter customization run later than that. Simplified builds using ready components go later still. Rather than assuming you have missed the window, send the brief and we tell you honestly what is achievable on your date. We have delivered a branded trolley order in 7 days against a 10-day deadline, so tight calendars are familiar ground.
Can we see a sample before committing to the full quantity?
Yes, and we recommend it. You get a free digital mockup first, at no cost and with no commitment. After that a physical sample ships to your office for approval. Sample cost is quoted upfront and adjusted against the bulk order when you proceed. For orders placed late in the calendar we work from a signed-off digital spec instead, to keep the production window intact.
What happens if hampers arrive damaged?
We inspect 100% of every lot and film it before dispatch, so defects get caught at our end rather than yours. Transit damage is handled by us with the courier, with replacements sent for the affected pieces. Food items travel in fitted inserts and rigid outer cartons rather than loose in a bag, because a cracked box on an employee's doorstep costs you more goodwill than the gift bought.
What are your payment terms?
Standard terms are 50% advance to begin production and 50% after your video inspection approval, before dispatch. Established corporate accounts get terms discussed case by case. Payment by bank transfer, and smaller orders pay by card directly on optimabags.com. We register on your vendor portal and follow your PO process rather than asking you to work around ours.
Do you offer eco-friendly and plastic-free Diwali gifting?
Yes. Recycled rPET, organic and recycled cotton canvas, jute, cork and kraft paper, with recycled packaging and poly-free options on request. Our ISO 14001 environmental certification and SEDEX 4P audit cover the factory itself, so your ESG or compliance team gets documentation rather than a claim. Reusable outer packaging like fabric bags and rigid boxes also extends the life of the gift well past the festival.
Can we mix food and non-food items in one hamper?
Yes, and most programs do. A typical build pairs a dry fruit thali or bakery box with a branded notebook, a tote, or a drinkware piece. We source, brand and pack all of it, so you deal with one supplier and one price instead of a food vendor, a merchandise vendor and a kitting agency each adding margin.
We need 2,000 hampers. Can you handle that volume?
Yes. We produce around 100,000 bags a month for brands including Amazon, Disney, Steve Madden, Skechers and Pepe Jeans, on an ISO 9001 and SEDEX 4P audited line. Large Diwali runs get a dedicated packing line and a per-location dispatch plan. Send your headcount and the number of delivery locations and we return a production and dispatch schedule alongside the quote.
How do we know a factory in Kundli is the right choice over a gifting portal?
A portal lists items and buys them from someone like us. You pay their margin and their kitting fee, and you get their version of quality control. We manufacture the bags, source the food under our own licence, brand and pack in-house, and film the lot before dispatch. Kundli is around 45 minutes from central Delhi, so a factory visit before committing budget is realistic. Third-party inspection agencies of your choice are welcome on site.
Can you ship Diwali hampers to our overseas offices?
Yes. We export regularly to the USA, UK, EU and UAE with export documentation handled in-house and DDP terms available, meaning we clear customs and pay duties so nobody at the receiving end faces a surprise bill. EU buyers pay 0% import duty on Indian-made goods. For overseas lists we recommend shelf-stable contents like sealed dry fruit rather than short-life bakery, and we flag any item restricted by the destination country before you approve the build.
Optima Bags — Corporate Diwali Gifts Manufacturer and Supplier, India
Optima Bags is an ISO 9001 certified, SEDEX 4P audited manufacturer supplying corporate Diwali gifts, dry fruit thalis, bakery hampers, mithai boxes and branded merchandise to companies across India and to overseas offices in the USA, UK, EU and UAE. Operating from Kundli in Delhi NCR since 1995, we manufacture for Amazon, Disney, Steve Madden, Skechers, Swiss Military and Pepe Jeans, and run corporate gifting programs from 25 units with one GST invoice, free digital mockups before payment, and video inspection of finished goods before dispatch. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November, with Dhanteras on 6 November. Corporate Diwali Gifts for Employees Employee Diwali gifting works on three constraints: a fixed per-head budget, a headcount that will not move, and a distribution date that decides everything. We manufacture and pack dry fruit thalis, cookie tins, brownie boxes, mithai assortments, branded totes and embossed notebooks in a single run, then split the dispatch across offices, plants and individual home addresses. Most Indian companies cap employee hampers just under ₹5,000 because gifts in kind from an employer are exempt up to an aggregate ₹5,000 per employee per financial year under Rule 3(7)(iv) of the Income-tax Rules. Our budget bands are built around that line. Diwali Dry Fruit Thalis and Gift Boxes in Bulk Dry fruit remains the most requested Diwali corporate gift in India because it travels well, keeps its shelf life across a long distribution window, and reads as premium at almost every budget. We supply round thalis, two-tier drawer boxes, carved wood compartment boxes with glass lids, and jar sets, filled with almonds, cashews, pistachios, raisins, dates, apricots and chocolate-coated dry fruit. Every pack is filled and sealed under our FSSAI licence with batch and best-before marking, and branded with your logo by foil stamping, debossing or a printed sleeve. Diwali Bakery Hampers, Cookies, Brownies and Tea Cakes Bakery gifting has moved from an afterthought to the centre of many Diwali programs, because a cookie tin or a brownie box gets opened and shared the same evening rather than stored in a cupboard. We produce assorted cookie tins, fudge brownie boxes, tea cake loaves, savoury cracker sets and mixed bakery hampers combining several of these in one fitted box. Shorter shelf life means scheduling matters, so bakery items are filled close to the dispatch date and the production calendar is built backward from your distribution day. Diwali Mithai Boxes and Chocolate Hampers for Corporates Modern mithai and chocolate assortments cover the traditional expectation without the handling problems of loose sweets. We supply assorted mithai boxes in individual foil cups, chocolate truffle and praline boxes, and mixed sweet-and-savoury hampers, all in rigid branded packaging suited to a reception desk or a courier run. Combine them with a dry fruit thali for a two-item hamper at a mid budget band. Diwali Gifts for Clients, Dealers and Channel Partners Client and channel gifting is a commercial signal and gets compared openly across a network, so tiering matters more than volume. We produce tiered Diwali programs where a top dealer slab receives a visibly better piece such as a cabin trolley, a premium leather-handle tote or a bespoke box, while the base slab still receives a considered hamper, all manufactured together under one purchase order and one landed price. Named tags, individually printed cards and per-recipient labelling come standard on these programs. Branded Bags, Totes and Merchandise for Diwali Programs Bag manufacturing has been our core business for 30 years, so the bag in your Diwali hamper is made by us rather than bought in. Structured canvas and jute gift totes, luxury rPET totes with genuine leather handles, laptop backpacks, duffles and hard-shell cabin trolleys are produced to your brand standards with woven labels, debossed patches, embroidery and metal logo plates. A reusable branded bag keeps your logo in circulation long after the sweets are finished. Bulk Diwali Gifting With One Supplier and One Invoice Most corporate Diwali programs get assembled from four vendors and a kitting agency, with a margin added at every handover. We manufacture the bags, source the food under our own FSSAI licence, brand everything in-house, pack on our own line, and issue one GST invoice against one purchase order. Vendor onboarding forms, MSME details, bank details and compliance documents are shared upfront so procurement approval does not become the bottleneck. Diwali Gifting Budget Bands and the ₹5,000 Perquisite Rule Indicative landed per-head bands run from ₹500 to ₹1,500 for a single dry fruit thali, cookie tin or notebook set, ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 for a two-item hamper with branded packaging, ₹3,000 to ₹4,999 for a premium multi-tier hamper deliberately capped below the perquisite threshold, and ₹5,000 and above for leadership gifting such as trolleys, watches and bespoke boxes. Gifts in kind from an employer are exempt up to an aggregate ₹5,000 per employee per financial year, and gifts to employees and clients are commonly claimed as a business expense under Section 37(1) where invoices and recipient records are maintained. Confirm both positions with your finance team. Pan-India and Overseas Diwali Hamper Delivery We dispatch to head offices, branch offices, plants, warehouses and individual employee home addresses across India, with per-location packing lists and a single consolidated tracking file. Overseas offices in the USA, UK, EU and UAE are served by air with export documentation handled in-house and DDP terms available, so the receiving office never faces a surprise clearance bill. EU destinations carry 0% import duty on Indian-made goods. Video Inspection Before Payment: How Bulk Gifting Stays Safe Every corporate order includes detailed video inspection of the finished lot before balance payment and dispatch. You review close-up footage of sealing, branding, packing and box finish on your actual goods, approve it, and only then release the balance. Combined with free mockups before payment, sample approval, ISO 9001 and SEDEX 4P certification, open factory visits at Kundli and third-party inspection access, this is how first-time corporate buyers commit six-figure Diwali budgets to a supplier they have not met.Diwali Is on 8 November. Your Gifting Decision Is Due Sooner.
