Welcome Packs FAQs

  • Our standard lead time is four weeks from artwork sign-off. Before that you’ll approve a plain sample (structure) and a 3D visual (artwork). If the date is tight, we’ll discuss the best options to meet it and confirm what’s achievable before we start.

  • Yes. We prioritise approvals, suggest finish tweaks if it helps timing, and keep you updated against a simple plan. We’ll talk through the best route to meet your deadline and set clear checkpoints.

  • Typical runs start at small onboarding waves, with room to scale to larger rollouts. We can pilot smaller to prove the format, then increase as demand grows. We’ll advise on the most efficient route for your numbers.

  • Yes. We design recyclable card fitments around your products, so everything holds position, with protective outers available where the route demands it. You can test the fit using the plain sample before we print.

  • Our default spec is FSC-certified boards with sustainable inks and coatings, which are all fully recyclable.

  • Often, yes. Foil used in small areas is so thin it behaves like ink in recycling, so it washes out. Single-sided laminates on sturdy boxes are usually acceptable because the film is tiny compared with the paper fibres.

  • Yes, if required. We offer kitting, assembly and co-packing, plus international multi-address despatch, with QC sign-off, tracking links, and despatch reports. If you prefer, we can ship to a single address for your team to pack.

  • Send your products and brief; a mood board helps us see what you like. We’ll discuss ideas, then produce a plain sample for structural sign-off based on your preferred route. Next we share a 3D visual for approval and move to a four-week production.

Sustainable Materials and Finishes for Onboarding

New starter kits can feel welcoming and responsible. We lead with FSC boards, recyclable card fitments, and sustainable inks and coatings, then add finishes like foil, emboss, spot gloss, and soft-touch laminates where they add warmth. UK-made production reduces freight emissions. At FMB we recommend sustainable baselines and select premium details that feel personal.

  • FSC-certified boards and recyclable card fitments as standard

  • Sustainable inks and coatings specified by default

  • Finish swatches and a clear material spec before sign-off

  • Spot gloss, foil, emboss or deboss, and soft-touch laminates

  • UK-made production that avoids long haul freight emissions

Helen Brooks, HR Manager: “We wanted day one to feel considered, not generic. FMB arranged useful items and small touches so the opening made sense, and the packs were easy to store and hand out. New starters noticed. Thanks.”
