Remember when welcoming a new team member meant handing them a stack of business cards and pointing them to the stationery cupboard? Times have changed – and so has the way forward-thinking companies use print.
At Total Office, we’ve watched workplace culture evolve over six decades. Today’s businesses want print solutions that reflect their values, engage their people, and make an impression. Read how our print team can help you transform those everyday moments into something memorable.
New Starter Packs
First impressions matter. A well-thought-out starter pack tells new employees they’re valued before they’ve even logged into their laptop.
We work with London City businesses to create bespoke starter packs that go beyond the basics. From concept through to delivery, our print experts help you pull together packages your new starters will appreciate – not place in a drawer and forgotten.
What makes a great new starter pack?
There is a large choice to suit your company. Some clients want luxury items that showcase their premium brand positioning. Others prefer budget-conscious options that deliver impact without breaking the bank. Many now focus on sustainable content that aligns with their ESG commitments.
Housing options are just as flexible to suit any budget. Custom-branded boxes work brilliantly for creating that unboxing moment. Stylish cotton canvas bags offer a sustainable alternative that new starters can use beyond day one. We’ve also seen clients opt for compact gift boxes that feel more personal than corporate.
Custom packs to suit any budget:
- Quality branded boxes in your chosen colours with company logo
- Branded belly bands/box sleeves are a cost-effective option
- A cotton bag is a practical and eco-friendly alternative to box-type solutions
- Thoughtful and practical content options, including sustainable and recyclable alternatives
- Premium options for differing seniority levels
Seamless logistics to make your life easier
Your packs can be managed with a unique stock code and housed in our warehouse, allowing you to call off your packs when needed. Need five packs for Monday? Order online, and we’ll deliver the next day. No minimum orders. No storing hundreds of boxes in your own space.
It’s a simple system that removes the headache of managing stock yourself, while giving you the flexibility to scale up or down as your hiring needs change.

Future-proof Your Business Cards
Business cards aren’t dead – but they have moved on from the standard printed business card. Discover alternative options that will bring your networking up to date.
The traditional card-swap still happens, but modern options open new possibilities. QR codes can link straight to your LinkedIn profile, portfolio, or booking calendar. One quick scan and your contact is saved – no manual typing required.
QR card technology can help reduce or eliminate the cost of reprinting- QR codes are a great way to store information without taking up too much space
Meanwhile, NFC (near-field communication) takes it further. Tap your card against a phone and you can trigger actions: share your digital business card, along with a company website page and social media profile(s). The contact details appear on the recipient’s phone, allowing them to save it or access it directly.
Substrates that stand out
Our range of lifetime business cards will help you stand out from the crowd. Designs tend to be basic in nature with a logo, name and QR code, which enables the cards to be sleek in design and appearance. The finishing processes enhance the look and feel.
The durable materials ensure that longevity is guaranteed, helping you do your bit for the planet. Recycled card stock shows environmental commitment. Textured finishes feel premium without shouting about it. We’ve printed cards on bamboo, metal, and even recycled plastic – each choice tells a different story about your brand.

Print with Purpose: Our Sustainable Approach
Sustainability isn’t a checkbox exercise for us – it’s embedded in how we work. Every print job is an opportunity to make better choices. We offer Green Audits, helping you understand the environmental impact of your print decisions and find sustainable alternatives that work for your budget.
Sustainable merchandise options
Print extends beyond paper. Branded merchandise – think tote bags, water bottles, notebooks – creates lasting impressions. We source items with sustainability credentials: recycled materials, ethical production, products designed to last rather than end up in landfill.
Our ongoing Planet Mark certification proves we’re serious about reducing our environmental impact year on year. We don’t just talk about sustainability – we measure it, report on it, and continuously improve.
Sustainably focused, cost-effective business solutions
Whether you’re ordering new starter packs, looking for branded merchandise that reflects your values, or rebranding your company, our print team can help. We are here to help you create quality print that makes an impact – in all the right ways.
