Christmas Gifts for Factory Employees: 100+ Sets
A practical guide to putting together Christmas gifts for factory employees for teams of 100 or more: budgets from €6 to €20 per set, timelines and examples.
Christmas gifts for factory employees for teams of 100 or more usually fit a budget of €6–20 per set, excl. VAT, and at 100 pcs the price per unit is noticeably lower than at 50 (for example, an Americano 350 ml thermal mug costs from €5.00 at 50 pcs, but from €4.43 at 100 pcs). Today, 27 October, there's still plenty of time before the holidays: promotional products with logo printing usually take 6–10 business days, so a safe order confirmation deadline is around 20 November. Below is how to put together a set that actually gets used on the factory floor, rather than staying in a cupboard.
What factory teams actually use
In metalworking and structural manufacturing plants (NACE 25.11), the work environment is specific: shifts, a canteen, a cold workshop or outdoor area, work done in gloves. That's why gifts that work well in an office don't always suit a workbench.
In practice, three categories work best:
- Hot drink and food items — a thermal mug, a lunch box. These get used every shift.
- Warm clothing with a logo — a hoodie or sweatshirt. In factories, people wear these outside work hours too.
- Small practical items — an LED light with a bottle opener, a keyring, a reflector, a pen.
Items that aren't needed at work (candles, decorations, empty sweet baskets) tend to go unappreciated in a large team. If you want a festive touch, it's better to add a small food item alongside the practical product, rather than the other way round.
Three budget levels for 100 sets
Below are indicative prices per set at 100 pcs, excl. VAT and excl. print setup fee (this is a one-off charge per print location, and at 100 pcs it works out to roughly €0.05–0.20 per set).
| Level | Contents | Approx. EUR/set at 100 pcs |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Americano 350 ml thermal mug + metal pen + sticky notes | 5.40–6.50 |
| Mid-range | MIYO two-layer lunch box + LED light + drawstring bag | 14.00–15.50 |
| Premium | 280 g/m² hoodie + thermal mug + drawstring bag | 16.50–19.00 |
| Separate gift for managers | Chipolo POP tracker with digital printing | from 26.39 |
If a set contains three products, each print location has its own setup fee. A real way to save: one-colour logo across all items and one product colour for the whole team — that way the screen printing setup is used only once.

Packaging and personalisation for a large team
Separate gift boxes for 100+ sets push up the order cost. A cheaper and more practical solution is a drawstring bag with your printed logo — it serves as packaging and as a usable product in its own right (from €0.48 at 100 pcs).
If you'd like personalisation, names are usually printed on just one item — most often the thermal mug (digital printing allows the text to be changed without a new setup) or a personalised card is added instead. We print cards, greetings and stickers in-house within 1–3 business days, see digital printing.
About clothing sizes
If the set includes a hoodie or sweatshirt, the size breakdown needs to be collected in advance — this usually takes about a week. A practical guideline for factories: roughly 60–70% L–XXL, the rest S–M and 3XL. It's safer to collect an exact list by shift. See clothing printing for printing options and standard print areas; the standard for the left chest is 110×90 mm, embroidery up to 90×90 mm.
Timelines: when to order to make it in time
| Step | Time |
|---|---|
| Quote with prices and PDF | 1 business day |
| Set confirmation, size collection | 3–7 days |
| Artwork preparation and approval | 1–2 business days |
| Production with printing | 4–7 business days |
| Delivery | 2–3 days |
Realistically, that's 2–3 weeks in total from the first conversation. The last safe day to start discussing 100+ sets that include clothing is around 20 November; items without clothing (mugs, LED lights, pens) can still make it in the first week of December, provided stock levels are sufficient. Urgent orders are handled on a case-by-case basis.
How to prepare your logo
Printing requires vector graphics (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg), colours in CMYK or Pantone; raster images at 300 dpi. If all you have is a PNG from your website, we'll redraw the logo — this takes one business day. Before production, we send you an artwork proof with the print location and size, and on request a 3D preview with your logo on the product; production only starts after your approval by email.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a gift set for 100 employees cost?
Roughly €5.40–6.50 per set for the basic option (thermal mug, pen, sticky notes), €14–15.50 for the mid-range option with a lunch box, and €16.50–19 with a hoodie. Prices excl. VAT; the exact amount depends on product choice, the number of print colours and the total quantity.
Does the price drop further at 200 or 300 sets?
Yes. The unit price decreases with quantity, and, more importantly, the one-off setup fee is spread across more pieces. In our quotes we usually calculate two or three quantities for comparison.
Can we order different products for different departments?
Yes. Often the workshop receives a thermal mug and an LED light, while administration gets a different set. We split one order into several lines, each with its own price and timeline.
How many colours can the logo be printed in?
On the thermal mug and lunch box with digital printing, the logo can be full-colour at no extra charge per colour. With screen printing and pad printing, each additional colour means an extra setup, so for large quantities a one- or two-colour logo is often chosen.
Do you pack the sets individually?
Yes, for an extra fee we assemble each set separately — most often in a drawstring bag with your printed logo. The price is calculated based on the number of items in the set.
When is the last moment to order before Christmas?
For sets that include clothing — around 20 November, since time is needed to collect sizes and complete printing. For items without clothing, 6–10 business days is usually enough, but stock levels change quickly in December.
