Ordering bulk Diwali gifts for a company is mostly a logistics problem, not a shopping problem. The hamper matters, but what decides whether Diwali week goes smoothly is lead time, address quality, per-city dispatch and a clean GST invoice. This guide walks through the whole process, including the mistakes that cost companies the most every year.
If you are ordering for 50, 500 or 5,000 people, the steps are the same. Only the timeline stretches. Bulk Diwali hampers are priced per unit, so the quantity you confirm matters more than anything else you decide.
How bulk Diwali gifting actually works
A bulk order runs through six stages. Knowing them upfront prevents the usual last-week scramble.
| Stage | What happens | Typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Requirement | Headcount, budget per head, cities, branding needs | Day 1 |
| Selection | Options shared, samples sent if needed | 2 to 4 days |
| Confirmation | Quantity locked, artwork received, advance raised | 1 to 2 days |
| Production | Boxes printed, hampers packed and dated | 5 to 10 days |
| Dispatch | City-wise consignments, tracking shared | 2 to 5 days |
| Delivery | Office handover or individual home delivery | 1 to 4 days |
End to end, allow three to four weeks for a customised bulk order. Ready hampers without branding can move in about a week, but during the fortnight before Diwali courier networks are congested and that buffer disappears fast.
Minimum order, pricing and how bulk rates work
We take corporate orders from 10 hampers upwards. Pricing improves at volume, and the jump is sharper than most buyers expect because packing and dispatch costs spread out.
Three things move the per-unit price:
Quantity. The biggest lever. The difference between 50 and 500 boxes is significant, so confirm your real headcount rather than ordering in small batches.
Contents. Almonds, cashews and pista carry most of the cost. Swapping one variety changes the price more than changing the box.
Packaging. A rigid gift box with foiling costs more than a printed carton, and it is usually the right place to spend, because packaging is what the recipient sees first.
Tell us your budget per head and we will work backwards to the best combination, rather than pushing a fixed hamper at you. Ranges and current options are on the corporate gifting page.
Single office, multi-city and home delivery
Most bulk orders fall into one of three dispatch patterns.
One office. Simplest and cheapest. Everything goes in one consignment, the admin team distributes. Ask for two or three spare boxes for new joiners.
Multiple offices. Share the city-wise split at the time of confirmation. Each location gets its own consignment and tracking. Do not route everything through the head office, as re-couriering damages boxes and doubles the cost.
Individual home delivery. Needed for remote teams. Share a list with name, full address with pincode, and phone number. Collect it about two weeks in advance, because a portion of addresses always comes back incomplete. Budget for a few redeliveries.
Branding, personalisation and what to skip
For bulk corporate gifting, two additions carry real weight.
Company logo on the box or sleeve. Printed or foiled. For orders above 50 boxes this is usually included. Send vector artwork, ideally AI, EPS, SVG or a high resolution PNG, at least two to three weeks before dispatch.
A printed note card. Three lines from the founder or the team head. If you can include the recipient’s name, do. It is the cheapest upgrade available and the one people mention afterwards.
What to skip: QR codes that lead to campaigns, heavy corporate messaging inside the box, and anything that needs the recipient to install something. A Diwali gift should feel like a gift, not a touchpoint.
Documentation your finance team will ask for
Corporate gifting is a business expense, so the paperwork needs to be right from the start.
GST invoice with your GSTIN. Confirm this before placing the order. Share your company GSTIN, registered name and billing address at confirmation, not after dispatch.
A clear quotation. Per-unit price, quantity, branding charges, delivery charges and taxes listed separately. This is what gets approved internally, so ask for it in a form you can forward.
Delivery proof. For multi-city orders, ask for tracking numbers per consignment. For home deliveries, ask for a delivery status sheet so you can close the loop on anyone who was missed.
Five mistakes that cost companies every Diwali
Ordering too late. The single most common one. Packaging stock and courier capacity both run out in the last ten days.
Collecting addresses at the end. Address collection takes longer than production. Start it the day you confirm the order.
Not asking about the packing date. Many gifting vendors buy dry fruits months ahead and pack to order from old stock. Ask when the hamper will be packed. We pack and date on the day of dispatch.
Ignoring dietary and cultural fit. Alcohol, heavy sweets and anything religion-specific create awkwardness in a mixed team. Dry fruits avoid all of it.
Forgetting spares. New joiners, lost parcels, one extra client. Order two to five percent more than headcount.
Start your bulk order
Share three things and we can quote quickly: how many hampers, your approximate budget per hamper, and the cities involved. We come back with curated options and pricing, usually within a few hours on a working day.
Enquire on the corporate gifting page, or browse the ready Diwali dry fruit hampers to see formats and price points. If you are still deciding what to send, our guide to Diwali gifts for employees covers budget tiers per head.
FAQs
What is the minimum quantity for bulk Diwali gifts?
We take corporate orders from 10 hampers upwards. Bulk pricing improves as quantity rises, with meaningful breaks around 50, 100 and 500 boxes.
How long does a bulk corporate order take?
Allow three to four weeks end to end for a customised order with branding. Ready hampers without branding can be dispatched in about a week, though the fortnight before Diwali is congested.
Can you deliver to multiple cities?
Yes. Share the city-wise split at confirmation and each location gets its own consignment with separate tracking, rather than everything going to a head office first.
Do you provide a GST invoice?
Yes. Share your company GSTIN, registered name and billing address at confirmation and the invoice is issued accordingly, so finance can book it as a business expense.
Can we get samples before confirming a bulk order?
Yes. For larger orders we send a sample hamper so you can check the packaging and the quality of the dry fruits before locking quantity.
How do you keep dry fruits fresh in a bulk order?
We pack and date each hamper on the day it ships instead of packing from stock held for months. For large orders this means production runs close to the dispatch date.
What do you need from us to start?
Headcount, approximate budget per hamper, the cities involved, and your logo artwork if you want branding. That is enough for a quotation.
