Short answer: Personalised corporate gifts in India use four main methods: laser engraving, UV printing, screen printing and embroidery, plus individual-name personalisation on diaries and bottles at a 50-piece MOQ. Meru Gifting provides a free mock-up before every bulk run.
Updated September 2026.
What does "personalised" mean versus just "branded"?
A branded gift carries your company logo, identical on every unit. A personalised gift goes one step further and carries the individual recipient's name, initials or a specific message, so no two units in the batch are identical. Both can be combined: a diary can carry your logo on the cover and the employee's name on the first page.
What personalisation options exist for corporate gifts?
Four branding methods cover almost every item in the catalogue, and each suits different materials.
| Method | Best for | Durability | Typical items |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laser engraving | Metal, wood, leather | Highest — cut into the surface | Bottles, pen holders, plaques |
| UV printing | Plastic, ceramic, ABS | High on hard surfaces | Mugs, power banks, chargers |
| Screen printing | Fabric, bags, jute | Medium — sits on the surface | Tote bags, backpacks, pouches |
| Embroidery | Bags, apparel | High — stitched, not printed | Sling bags, backpacks |
Which branding method should I pick? (compare)
If you're choosing between the two most common methods for a bulk order, use this comparison.
Laser engraving
- Permanent, won't fade or peel
- Best on metal, wood, leather
- Higher setup cost for very small runs
UV / screen printing
- Full colour logos possible
- Works on plastic, ceramic, fabric
- Can wear with heavy daily handling
Most corporate orders actually use both: engraving on the metal or leather anchor item, and printing on any fabric accessory in the same box.
Which personalisation option suits your order?
Answer this to get a starting recommendation.
How do I personalise 100+ gifts with individual names?
Send a spreadsheet with one row per recipient (name, item, delivery address if shipping direct-to-home). Meru Gifting maps each row to production and QA-checks spelling before the batch is packed.
- Shortlist the item — diaries, bottles and card inserts personalise most easily.
- Send a spreadsheet of names in your preferred production order.
- Approve a physical or digital sample with 2-3 real names from your list.
- Production runs in batch; each item is checked against the spreadsheet before packing.
- Boxes ship pan-India, individually or to one bulk address for internal distribution.
Which products personalise best?
Diaries, leather stationery sets, bottles and photo frames take individual names cleanly. Tech items like power banks are usually logo-branded rather than name-personalised, since the printable area is small.
PU Diary with Gold Metal Plate (8030-40)₹290 · MOQ 50 branded
PU Diary with Arrow Buckle Clasp (8029-22)₹385 · MOQ 50 branded
Lekhan Personalised Leather Stationery Set₹2999 · MOQ 50 branded
Wooden Lid Vacuum Bottle with Gift Box and Pouch 500 ml (MGH 2241)₹750 · MOQ 50 branded
What is a personalised story book, and is it a corporate gift?
A personalised story book is a custom-printed book where the recipient, or their child, is the protagonist. Companies use these for gifts to employees' children, client families, Children's Day and Diwali. It's one of the more memorable premium personalisation options in the catalogue because the recipient sees their own name inside the story.
How much does personalisation cost, and what's the MOQ?
Logo branding is included in the standard item price at the usual MOQ of 50 pieces. Individual-name personalisation depends on the item and volume — share your list on WhatsApp for an exact quote. A free mock-up is always provided before the full batch runs.
Can personalisation and Dharohar craftsmanship be combined?
Yes. A Dharohar keepsake, such as a Meenakari photo frame or a Kalam Daan pen holder, can carry an engraved name plate or a small brand mark without overwhelming the handcrafted piece — many client and leadership gifts use exactly this combination.

What personalisation options exist for corporate gifts?
Laser engraving (metal, wood, leather), UV printing (plastics, ceramics, ABS), screen printing (fabric, bags), embroidery (bags, apparel), and individual-name personalisation on diaries, bottles and card inserts.
How much does personalisation add to the cost?
Logo branding is included in the standard price at MOQ 50. Individual-name personalisation for 100+ recipients typically needs a spreadsheet of names mapped to production; ask for a quote as the per-name process differs by item.
Can I personalise 500 gifts with 500 different names?
Yes. Share a spreadsheet of names in the order you want them produced, and Meru Gifting maps each name to the corresponding item during production.
Which branding method lasts longest?
Laser engraving on metal or wood is the most durable, since it cuts into the material rather than sitting on top of it. UV printing is durable on hard plastics but can wear on items handled daily, like a mug rim.
Do I need a mock-up before a personalised bulk order?
Yes, always. Meru Gifting provides a free mock-up with your logo or name sample before production starts, so nothing ships until you've approved it.
