Order by 25 October 2026 for delivery before Diwali.
Diwali falls around 8 November 2026. A branded bulk order takes 7–10 business days from written mockup approval — that covers branding, curing, packing and shipping — so 25 October is the last date we can take a new bulk Diwali order and still put gifts on desks in time.
It is not a sales deadline; it is arithmetic. Most Diwali problems are not price problems, they are calendar problems — artwork stuck in approval for a week in late October is what turns a good order into a late one. The table below is the schedule we work backwards from.
| Date | Milestone | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| By 10 October | Enquiry + quote agreed | Widest SKU choice; best slab pricing |
| By 15 October | Artwork sent to us | Leaves time for one mockup revision |
| By 20 October | Mockup approved in writing | Production clock starts here |
| 25 October | Last safe order date | Final date we take new bulk Diwali orders |
| ~8 November | Diwali | Gifts in hand before the office closes |
Four budgets, real SKUs, real prices.
Every price below is a live catalogue base price at MOQ 10, excluding GST and logo-branding setup. SKU codes are shown so you can quote them back to us — or to your finance team.
The tier most companies use when the gift goes to everyone — 200, 500, sometimes the whole plant. Low unit cost, but still a real branded object, not a token.

25, 100, 300 or 500+ — the calendar changes.
The budget tiers above work at any scale. What genuinely changes with headcount is lead time and logistics — a 500-unit run is scheduled differently from a 25-unit one.
25 employees
Small office, one address
Order by 25 October
The easiest order to run late-because it feels small. It is not: 25 branded sets still need the same artwork approval and the same 7–10 business day production window as 500. The advantage of this size is choice — at 25 units you can justify a better item per head, because the total is modest. A 25-person office taking PIX-CS-4136 at ₹989 spends ₹24,725 before GST, which is often less than the catering budget for the Diwali lunch. One delivery address, one carton count, no distribution logistics to plan.
100 employees
The most common order size
Order by 22 October
One hundred units is the median quantity we are asked to quote, and the scale at which the box starts to matter operationally. Pre-boxed sets mean one carton per person and nothing to assemble on the day. This is also the size where the budget conversation gets real — the gap between ₹229 and ₹549 a head is ₹32,000 across 100 people, so decide the tier before asking for a quote rather than after. Leave a couple of days more headroom than a 25-unit order: more units means more branding passes.
300 employees
Multi-department, possibly multi-floor
Order by 18 October
At 300 units the order stops being a purchase and becomes a small project. Branding runs in batches, so quantity affects the calendar — build in the full 10 business days rather than hoping for seven. Plan distribution before delivery day: who signs for the cartons, where 300 boxes sit for 48 hours, and who hands them out. This is the scale at which tiering pays off — most 300-person orders are 260 staff sets plus 40 better sets for managers and key clients, all on one invoice.
500+ employees
Plant, campus, hospital or school group
Order by 10–15 October
Above 500 units, start in the first half of October, not the last. Large runs are scheduled against our other October work, so the earlier the artwork is approved the better the slot you get — this is capacity, not a sales tactic. Expect to be asked for a delivery plan up front: one consignment or split by branch, single carton or individual packs. Institutional orders of this size usually need a proforma invoice for internal approval before the PO is raised, so factor that approval time into your own calendar too — it is often the longest step and it is entirely on your side.
The order-by dates above are working guidance, not different deadlines — 25 October remains the last date we accept any new bulk Diwali order. Larger runs simply need to start earlier to land comfortably.
Institutional gifting is our strongest work.
Printigly's largest accounts are educational and institutional — schools, trusts, colleges and hospitals in and around Bangalore. It is the segment we understand best, and Diwali orders from institutions look different from corporate ones in three specific ways.
First, the budget is annual, not discretionary. An institution gifting staff at Diwali is usually spending against a sanctioned head with a fixed ceiling, which means the useful question is not "what would you like?" but "what is the best set at exactly ₹229 a head for 340 people?" We are happy to be given the ceiling and asked to work to it — that is a faster conversation than browsing a catalogue.
Second, paperwork comes before the order, not after. Most institutions need a written quotation or a proforma invoice to put in front of a management committee, a trustee board or a purchase committee before any PO is raised. Ask for the proforma as soon as the shortlist is agreed; that approval step usually takes longer than our production does, and it sits on your side of the table.
Third, the staff list is graded. Teaching and non-teaching staff, consultants, support staff, trustees — often three or four tiers in a single order, with the grades decided by policy rather than preference. We quote them as separate line items on one GST invoice so your accounts department processes a single document, and we can hold each tier to its own exact per-head figure.
Five steps, two weeks, no account needed.
You do not need to register or browse 521 products to get a price. Quantity, budget and city is enough to start.
Enquiry
WhatsApp or call +91 7204910047 with three things: quantity, per-head budget, and delivery city. That is enough to shortlist SKUs — you do not need to browse the catalogue or create an account first.
Written quote
You get a GST quote as a PDF you can forward to finance: SKU, unit price, branding method, quantity, taxes, delivery. Priced at MOQ 10 and at your actual quantity, so the slab is visible.
Mockup approval
We place your logo on the chosen item and send a digital mockup. Nothing goes into production until you approve it in writing — this is the step that prevents a wrong-logo delivery.
Production
Branded in-house in Bangalore — screen print, DTF, UV print, laser engraving, embroidery or sublimation, chosen to suit the material. In-house means we are not waiting on a third-party printer in October.
Delivery
One consignment to your office, or split shipments across branches. Pan-India. For multi-address dispatch, send a spreadsheet of names and addresses with the order.
Two of these steps depend on you, not us: sending usable artwork, and approving the mockup in writing. Those are where October orders lose days. If your logo lives only in a PowerPoint deck or a low-resolution JPEG, send it early — redrawing a logo for print is routine work, but it is not instant.
What actually gets used.
Split the list before you set the budget
Most Diwali orders are really two or three orders: a large staff tier, a smaller client tier, and a short leadership list. Deciding the split first — 300 at ₹229, 80 at ₹989, 15 at ₹2,049 — gives you a defensible total instead of one averaged number that satisfies nobody. All of it goes on one GST invoice.
Pick the item by branding method
A logo laser-engraved into a steel bottle survives years of dishwashing; the same logo screen-printed on a cheap ceramic mug fades by March. Steel and wood take laser engraving, ceramic and acrylic take UV print, apparel takes embroidery or DTF. Ask which method we would use on the item you are considering — the answer tells you how long your logo will stay visible.
Boxed sets beat loose items
At the same spend, a boxed 3-piece set reads as a gift and a loose mug reads as merchandise. The box is also what makes distribution manageable when 300 units arrive two days before the office closes — one carton per person, nothing to assemble on site.
Order 5% over your headcount
Someone always gets missed — a new joiner, a consultant, a client who visits on the day. A small buffer costs a few thousand rupees at ₹229 a head and avoids a second order at rush timelines in the first week of November, when a top-up cannot realistically arrive before the festival.
Which method suits which product.
All six are done in-house in Bangalore. The method is chosen by material, not by preference — this is the part of the decision most buyers are never told about.
Laser engraving
Steel bottles, metal pens, bamboo and wooden items
Burns the logo into the material, so there is no ink to scratch off. Permanent — it outlasts the product. The trade-off is colour: engraving gives you the material's own tone (a silver mark on steel, a dark brown on bamboo), never your brand colour. Best default for drinkware you want people still using in 2028.
UV print
Ceramic mugs, acrylic keychains, card holders, rigid gift boxes
Prints full colour directly onto a hard surface and cures instantly. This is how you get an accurate brand colour and a multi-colour logo onto a mug or a box. Durable in normal use, though less indestructible than engraving on an item that lives in a dishwasher.
Sublimation
White and light-coloured ceramic mugs, mouse pads, coasters
Bonds the image into the coating rather than sitting on top, giving photo-quality results that do not peel. It only works on light, coated surfaces — which is why a full-colour photo mug is white, not black. Ideal when the design is a photograph or a gradient rather than a flat logo.
Embroidery
Polo shirts, caps, hoodies, jackets
Stitched thread. Reads as the most premium option on apparel and survives repeated washing better than any printed alternative. Fine detail and thin text do not translate well to stitches, so a logo with small type usually needs a simplified version for embroidery — we prepare that as part of the mockup.
DTF (direct-to-film)
T-shirts and apparel with detailed or multi-colour artwork
Transfers full-colour artwork onto fabric, including dark fabric, with far more detail than embroidery allows. The right choice when the design is a complex illustration or a photograph rather than a logo mark.
Screen print
High volumes with a simple one or two-colour logo
The most economical method once quantity is high and the artwork is simple, because cost per piece falls as the run grows. A flat single-colour logo across 500 bags or shirts is exactly what it is for. Not suited to gradients or photographic artwork.
Two limits worth knowing before you choose, because they are ours and we would rather you hear them now: our heat press handles up to A3, and we do not offer large-format lamination. Neither affects gift sets, drinkware or apparel, but if your Diwali plan includes oversized printed pieces, tell us the dimensions early so we can confirm what is possible rather than discovering it in production.
Seven ways bulk Diwali orders go wrong.
None of these are hypothetical. Every one of them is avoidable with a decision made a fortnight earlier.
Starting the enquiry in the last week of October
The single most common one. By then the honest answer is often "not before Diwali", and the alternative is a compromise item chosen for availability rather than fit. Enquiries cost nothing and do not commit you — ask for a quote in early October and sit on it if you need to.
Treating the mockup approval as a formality
The mockup is the last point at which a wrong logo file, a misspelt company name or a bad colour match is free to fix. After approval it is a reprint. Read it properly, and get whoever will be blamed if it is wrong to read it too.
Ordering exactly the headcount
There is always someone extra — a new joiner, a consultant, a client who visits on the day, a box damaged in transit. A 5% buffer is cheap insurance. A top-up order in the first week of November cannot realistically arrive before the festival.
Choosing an item that does not take branding well
Some products look excellent in a photo and hold a logo badly — heavily textured surfaces, tight curves, very dark materials with fine light-coloured artwork. Ask which branding method we would use before you fall in love with an item; if the honest answer is "this logo will not read well on that", better to hear it in October.
Not confirming the invoice details before production
If the gift is being claimed or reimbursed, the GST invoice has to carry the right entity name, address and GSTIN. Getting an invoice reissued after delivery is possible but tedious, and it lands in your lap in the middle of year-end. Send the billing details with the order, not after it.
Averaging one budget across very different recipients
A single per-head figure across staff, clients and leadership tends to produce a gift that is too expensive for the largest group and too ordinary for the smallest. Splitting the list into two or three tiers usually costs the same in total and lands better with everyone.
Leaving distribution unplanned
Cartons arriving is not the same as gifts being given. For anything above 100 units, decide in advance who receives the delivery, where it is stored, and who hands it out — especially if your office winds down in the days before the festival.
40 years, in-house, in Bangalore.
Established 1984
Forty years of printing in Bangalore, and 500+ corporate clients. Diwali is not a season we improvise — it is the one we plan capacity around.
Branding done in-house
DTF, UV print, laser engraving, sublimation, embroidery and screen print under one roof. In October that matters: we are not queued behind a third-party printer's other clients.
Built for procurement
GST invoice on every order, quoting against a PO, MOQ from 10, and a written mockup approval step so the logo on the product is the logo you signed off.
4.8★ and pan-India
4.8 stars on Google. Produced in Bangalore, delivered anywhere in India — one consignment to head office or split across branches.
A note on honesty, since Diwali is the season of over-promising: we quote 7–10 business days for branded bulk, not same-day. Simple unbranded print runs are faster, but anything carrying your logo needs production time. If a supplier promises you 500 branded, boxed gift sets in 48 hours in late October, ask them which machine is doing it.
Diwali corporate gifting — FAQs
What is the last date to order Diwali corporate gifts for 2026? +
Order by 25 October 2026. Branded bulk orders take 7–10 business days from mockup approval to delivery, and Diwali falls around 8 November 2026, so 25 October is the last date we can accept a new bulk Diwali order and still deliver before the festival. Orders placed after that date are quoted for post-Diwali or year-end delivery instead. If you want a revision round on the mockup, send your artwork by 15 October.
What is the minimum order quantity for Diwali corporate gifts? +
MOQ is 10 pieces on every product in the corporate catalogue. That is unusually low for branded gifting and it exists for small leadership lists — 10 premium sets for the management team is a normal order for us. Per-unit price improves as quantity rises; ask for pricing at both MOQ 10 and your real quantity so you can see the slab before deciding.
Do you provide a GST invoice for corporate gift orders? +
Yes — a GST invoice is issued on every order, without asking. All catalogue prices on this page exclude GST and logo-branding setup, so the quote you forward to finance shows the base price, the branding charge and the tax as separate lines. We can quote against a purchase order number if your process needs it.
Can Diwali gifts be branded with our company logo? +
Yes, and on almost every item. Branding is done in-house in Bangalore using screen print, DTF, UV print, laser engraving, embroidery or sublimation — we pick the method based on the material (laser on steel bottles, UV on ceramic and wood, embroidery on apparel). You approve a digital mockup showing your logo on the actual product before production starts.
How long does a bulk Diwali gift order take? +
7–10 business days from written mockup approval to delivery, including shipping. Add 1 day for the quote and 1–2 days for the mockup round, so budget roughly two weeks from first enquiry to gifts on desks. We do not promise same-day or next-day dispatch on branded bulk orders — the branding and curing time is real, and a promise we cannot keep in the first week of November is worse than an honest date.
Can we customise what goes into the gift set? +
Yes. The boxed sets on this page are our standard combinations, but any set can be rebuilt from the 521-product catalogue — swap the pen, drop the keychain, add a notebook, change the box. Tell us the per-head ceiling and we will assemble to that number rather than making you browse SKUs. Custom-built sets follow the same 7–10 business day production window.
Do you deliver Diwali corporate gifts outside Bangalore? +
Yes — pan-India. Production is in Bangalore and we ship anywhere in India, either as one consignment to your head office or split across branch addresses. For multi-city dispatch, send a spreadsheet of addresses and quantities with the order, and factor the outer end of the 7–10 business day window for the furthest location.
What are the payment terms on a bulk Diwali order? +
Standard terms are an advance to start production with the balance on dispatch; the exact split is stated on your quote. Payment is by bank transfer or NEFT against the GST invoice, and we can bill against a purchase order. [VERIFY: exact advance percentage and whether credit terms are available for repeat institutional accounts]
Do bulk discounts apply, and at what quantities? +
Yes — unit price drops as quantity rises, so a 500-piece order is priced below a 50-piece order of the same SKU. Rather than publish slabs that go stale, we quote your actual quantity. When you ask, give the real number: quoting "around 100" and then ordering 400 means re-quoting and losing days in the busiest fortnight of the year.
Can you drop-ship Diwali gifts to individual employee home addresses? +
Yes — send us a spreadsheet with each employee's name, full address, pincode and phone number, and we dispatch individual packs rather than one bulk consignment. This is how most hybrid and remote teams now run Diwali gifting. Two practical notes: collect and verify the addresses before you order, because chasing 80 people for pincodes is what delays these orders rather than production; and individual dispatch carries a per-shipment delivery cost, so ask for it to be quoted as a separate line so you can compare it against shipping in bulk to the office.
Can we mix budget tiers in one Diwali order? +
Yes, and most orders above 100 units do. A typical structure is one tier for general staff, a better tier for managers and clients, and a short premium list for leadership — for example 260 sets at ₹549 plus 40 at ₹989. It is quoted as separate line items and billed on a single GST invoice, so your accounts team handles one document. Mixing tiers does not extend the production window as long as all the artwork is approved together.
What file format do you need for our logo? +
A vector file is best — AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF — because it scales to any product size without losing edge quality. If you only have a raster file, send the largest PNG you have, ideally with a transparent background and at least 1000 px on its longest side. A logo pulled from your website or a PowerPoint deck is usually too small for laser engraving or large-format print; we can redraw it as vector, which is routine work but takes time, so send your artwork as early as possible. Tell us your brand colours in Pantone or CMYK if colour accuracy matters to you.
Do you provide a physical sample before bulk production? +
A digital mockup showing your logo on the product is standard and included on every order. A physical branded sample is possible, but it means running the branding setup once for a single unit and then couriering it to you — realistically 3–5 extra days before the bulk run even starts. For an October Diwali timeline that usually only makes sense if you order in the first week of the month. [VERIFY: whether a physical pre-production sample is charged, and the current cost]
Can we get a proforma invoice for internal approval? +
Yes. Tell us you need a proforma and we will issue one against your chosen items and quantities, showing unit price, branding, taxes and delivery — the document most companies and institutions need to raise a PO or release funds. This is the step that most often eats the calendar on larger orders, because it sits inside your approval chain rather than ours, so request the proforma as soon as the shortlist is agreed rather than waiting for a final decision on colours.
What happens if we need to increase the quantity after ordering? +
Tell us as early as possible and it is usually straightforward — if the increase reaches us before the production run starts, it is normally absorbed into the same batch with no change to your delivery date, and the revised invoice may land at a better per-unit rate. Once the run has started, additional units become a second batch with its own 7–10 business day window, which in late October means they will likely arrive after Diwali. This is the main practical reason to order a small buffer above headcount up front.
Do you handle Diwali gifting for schools, trusts, colleges and hospitals? +
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Institutional Diwali gifting — staff across teaching and non-teaching grades, trustees, visiting consultants — usually means two or three budget tiers in one order, and we quote them on a single GST invoice so your accounts team handles one document. Printigly has been printing for Bangalore institutions since 1984.
