What does "custom corporate gifts" mean at Meru Gifting?
Custom corporate gifts at Meru Gifting means designing a piece from scratch — a new shape, a specific craft technique, or a two-company co-branded box — rather than choosing from the existing catalogue. It sits under the customised orders service and typically starts at ₹500 per piece with MOQ 50.

What can be customised — the product, the packaging or both?
Meru Gifting customises three layers independently: the product itself (shape, engraving, colour, craft technique), the packaging (brand-colour boxes, ribbon, printed sleeve), and co-branding (two logos placed together for a joint event or partner gift). Most clients customise packaging and branding on a catalogue product; full bespoke product design is reserved for milestone or commemorative gifts, like the RBI@90 commemorative desk set.
How much does a bespoke corporate gift cost compared to a catalogue product?
| Customisation level | Typical price/piece | Timeline | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Branding only (logo on catalogue product) | ₹250–₹2,000 | 7–15 working days | Diary, bottle, power bank |
| Custom packaging + branding | ₹500–₹5,500 | 10–15 working days | Executive desk hamper |
| Fully bespoke product design | ₹3,000–₹15,000+ | 15–25 working days | Commemorative plaque, monument replica |
How does co-branding work for a joint event or partner gift?
Co-branding places two logos — yours and a partner's or client's — on the same gift or packaging, used for joint product launches, channel-partner events or anniversary collaborations. Meru Gifting shares a free mock-up showing both logos before production so both sides can sign off.
What is the process for a fully bespoke gift design?
- Brief Meru Gifting on the occasion, story or milestone you want the gift to reflect.
- Our design team proposes 2–3 concept sketches using relevant craft techniques from the Dharohar network.
- You approve one concept; a physical or detailed digital sample is produced for sign-off.
- Confirm quantity (MOQ 50), GST invoice and PO once the sample is approved.
- Production takes 15–25 working days depending on craft complexity; book well ahead of your event date.

Do custom gifts qualify for tax-free employee gifting?
Employee gifts up to ₹5,000 per person per financial year are exempt as a perquisite under Income-tax Rule 3(7)(iv); above that, the excess is taxable in the employee's hands. GST input tax credit on gifts is blocked under Section 17(5)(h) of the CGST Act, and gifts above ₹50,000 per employee in a year count as a supply. Meru Gifting issues GST invoices on all custom orders. Confirm with your CA.
Can custom gifts be delivered pan-India or internationally?
Yes. Meru Gifting delivers pan-India to 25+ states and internationally to the USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Sri Lanka and Thailand, so a bespoke gift run can ship to multiple offices or partner locations from one production batch.

How long does a bespoke gift design take?
15-25 working days from concept approval, depending on the craft technique and quantity.
What is co-branding on a corporate gift?
Co-branding places two logos, such as yours and a partner's, on the same gift or packaging, typically for joint events or anniversaries.
Is a sample provided before a bespoke bulk order?
Yes, a physical or detailed digital sample is produced for sign-off before the full bulk quantity goes into production.
