Floral hand-embroidered denim baseball cap, a lower price point option for corporate gifting kits

The short answer

Under Rs 2,000 per head you can get a genuinely hand-embroidered piece rather than a printed one. Our custom initial tee on 220 GSM cotton is Rs 1,300. Caps and embroidered socks sit lower and work well inside a kit. What you cannot get at this budget is hand embroidery across a list of five hundred people on a three-week deadline, and it is worth knowing that before you plan around it.

What Rs 2,000 per head actually buys

Custom initial or name tee, Rs 1,300. 220 GSM cotton, letters stitched by hand. The strongest option at this budget because every unit is different.
Motif tee. Florals, birds, evil eye, kantha trim. One shared design across the order, faster to produce than individual names.
Hand-embroidered cap. Lower price point, good as the second item in a kit rather than the main gift.
Embroidered socks. The cheapest way to put real hand embroidery in a box.

A common structure at this budget is one embroidered tee plus one small item plus a handwritten card, which lands better than three mid-priced generic things.

Why not just buy printed tees and spend less?

You can, and for very large giveaways you probably should. A printed corporate tee runs roughly Rs 250 to Rs 400. The honest tradeoff is that a screen print sits on top of the fabric and cracks with washing, while hand-stitched thread is knotted into the weave and does not.

The other difference is arithmetic. A print takes seconds. A hand-embroidered initial takes roughly 6 hours of one artisan's time in our Bulandshahr studio. You are paying for those hours, and they are visible from across a room.

How many people can you gift at this budget?

This is the question that decides everything. Hand embroidery does not get faster with volume, it just spreads across more hands. A list of twenty at Rs 1,300 is straightforward. A list of five hundred on a tight deadline is not a budget problem, it is a calendar problem.

If your list is long and your budget is fixed, the better move is usually to shorten the list rather than downgrade the gift. Thirty people who receive something made for them beats three hundred who receive something forgettable.

Personalised or one shared design?

Individual initials cost the same per unit but take longer, because every piece is its own job. One shared motif across the whole order keeps the hand embroidery on every unit while being far easier to schedule. Above roughly 100 pieces, the shared motif is usually the realistic choice.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer bulk pricing?

Tell us your quantity and your in-hand date and we will come back with what is possible. We would rather quote against a real brief than publish a number that does not hold up on your specific order.

Can we get our logo embroidered within this budget?

Budget is not the constraint, the logo is. Bold clean marks translate into hand stitching. Small type and gradients do not. Send us the file and we will tell you honestly.
