Cost logic

What an onboarding box costs is not decided by the catalog price.

Anyone researching the price of an onboarding box compares unit prices for boxes and contents. The more expensive part rarely appears in the quote: purchasing in small quantities, finishing at a second provider, cartons on the HR desk, individual postage at the counter, leftover inventory in a cupboard. A box calculated as a package of kitting & assembly and dispatch makes these items visible — and plannable.

Process

From the bill of materials to the delivered box.

Six steps, one owner. After setup, operations run without your HR department packing cartons.

  1. 01

    Briefing and sample

    Bill of materials, pack scheme, cartons — on request with a physical approval sample before the run starts.

  2. 02

    Procurement and finishing

    Textiles and hard goods are procured and finished in-house: embroidery, flocking, transfer printing, screen printing, direct-to-garment digital printing.

  3. 03

    Kitting & assembly by bill of materials

    Packing takes place in modular kitting & assembly cells; every item drawn is booked against the bill of materials in the inventory management system — repeatably precise, box by box.

  4. 04

    Storage

    Finished boxes sit ready to ship in the Kleve warehouse. You view inventory in real time.

  5. 05

    Call-off per new hire

    By collective list, via a closed order shop, or via connection to your systems — with destination address and textile size.

  6. 06

    Dispatch and tracking

    Individual shipment to the site or home address, with shipment tracking. Our Customer Care handles exception handling.

Cost components

The box price has five components. We itemize each one.

A reliable box price is built from the bill of materials and annual volume, not from a price list. Each component appears separately in the quote — comparable, without lump sums. Dispatch runs from an operation with a negative CO₂ balance.

01Goods valueThe contents of the box: textiles, hard goods, printed matter. Procured in annual volume rather than small runs — that lowers the unit price.
02Finishing →Logo or motif, applied in-house. The method depends on material and run size — from the transfer press to embroidery.
03Kitting & assembly →Packing by bill of materials in the kitting & assembly cell. Calculated per box, depending on the number and type of components.
04Storage →Storage space and inventory management for pre-produced boxes. You call off instead of producing anew for every hiring wave.
05Dispatch →Individual shipment with tracking to the site or home address. Consolidated deliveries to one site lower postage costs.
Reference

Welcome packages for Oatly: the same mechanics, different recipients.

For Oatly, PROWERB dispatches welcome packages to gastronomy operators and new partners — connected to a standalone shop solution. The mechanics are the same as for the employee box: defined contents, one recipient, one date. Whether the package welcomes a restaurateur or a new colleague changes nothing about the process.

FAQ

Onboarding boxes: the questions before the quote.

What does an onboarding box cost?

The five lines in the cost section form the calculation. A quotation needs the bill of materials, quantity, finishing, storage duration and call-off/dispatch profile.

From what volume does outsourced kitting & assembly pay off?

There is no fixed quantity at which the calculation tips. What matters is whether boxes occur regularly and whether no one internally should be packing, storing and franking them on the side. Once onboarding is an ongoing process, the outsourced operation pays off through the labor time saved.

How are boxes called off?

Per new hire — by collective list, via a closed order shop, or via connection to your systems. The call-off includes the destination address and, where relevant, the textile size. Dispatch goes to the site or directly to the home address.

Can the contents be personalized?

Textile finishing runs in-house: embroidery, flocking, transfer printing, screen printing and direct-to-garment digital printing. Personalized letters and cards come from the lettershop — the origin of the company. You control size variants via the call-off.

How fast does a box reach the recipient?

Pre-produced boxes sit ready to ship in the warehouse. Permanently listed items leave the building the same or following day more than 95 percent of the time — with shipment tracking through to delivery. The same-day share is an operating metric for permanently stocked promotional items, not a promise for each order. Dispatch depends on available stock, complete and approved order data, the agreed cut-off and working days. We clarify the reporting period and applicable service level for your project.

Who handles replenishment?

Inventory management runs in real time in our own inventory management system. If inventory falls below the agreed threshold, we coordinate reproduction before the last box leaves the warehouse.
