Best for
Choose product launch giveaways if your moment is press drops and influencer mailers, brand refresh and rebrand launches or retail and dtc product launches.
Press drops and influencer mailers
The box is the hero. Custom mailer, tissue, a hand-signed card, one tactile product (ceramic mug, candle, enamel pin or leather-bound notebook) and a story card. The unboxing is the campaign — design for the phone camera first.
Brand refresh and rebrand launches
Give every staff member one beautifully-finished piece that carries the new identity — a tote, a tonal notebook, a ceramic mug. This is the day the new brand lives in their hands. Tone-on-tone deboss and edge-to-edge print on the new palette do the heavy lifting.
Retail and DTC product launches
Gift-with-purchase is where launch merch earns its keep — a branded tote, a cosmetic pouch, a seeded-paper card or a custom sticker set that travels home in every bag. Choose items that photograph well on the counter and survive the weekly shop.
Tech and SaaS product launches
Pair a hero piece (wireless charger, notebook, ceramic mug) with a story card explaining the new release. Ship to customers, partners and investors on the same day the press release drops — timed-release dispatch handles the logistics.
Event and activation launches
Think in tiers: a VIP gift for the first 50 guests, a beautiful take-home for the next 500, and a branded tote that carries both. Delegates remember the object, not the keynote slide.
“Our press drop arrived at every editor's desk on the morning of the release and three of them posted the unboxing within the hour. The tissue, the card, the weight of the box — the Sense2 team understood the moment beautifully.”
“We reorder our launch kits with Sense2 every product cycle — they remember our brand codes beautifully and always suggest something fresh. Delivered the day before the event, beautifully packed, right on time.”
“The founder boxes went to our top fifty clients on launch day and the thank-you notes came back for weeks. Considered at every touchpoint — which is every brand manager's dream.”

How to choose
Start with the moment, not the product — that's the part we enjoy most about a launch brief. What is the audience doing when they receive the piece? Opening it on camera for a reel? Finding it on their desk Monday morning? Picking it up from a counter after checkout? Each moment asks for a different object, a different weight, a different register of finish. For press drops and influencer mailers, the packaging is the product. Custom mailer box, tissue, ribbon, a hand-signed card, one tactile hero piece and a story card that explains the launch in two lines. The whole thing should feel considered at every touchpoint — the opening moment is what gets posted. Budget usually sits at AU$85-$220 per kit for 50-200 units; the economics of a post from the right creator make the maths easy. For staff and internal launches, think warmth over spectacle. A beautifully-finished notebook in the new brand palette, a ceramic mug that lives on the desk, a tote that carries the launch tee home. Tone-on-tone deboss and edge-to-edge sublimation in the new identity are how the brand lands in the hand without shouting. AU$18-$45 per kit at 100-500 units is the typical spend. For retail gift-with-purchase, choose items that earn their shelf space — cotton totes at 280-340gsm, cosmetic pouches, seeded-paper cards, sticker sets. Photograph beautifully on the counter, survive the commute home, and carry the launch into the customer's week. No MOQ on many items, which lets pilot stores test the concept before the national rollout. On branding: full-colour digital print and tone-on-tone deboss are the two finishes that carry a launch best. Digital handles gradient, photography and complex brand systems; deboss handles refined, quiet-luxury palettes where the logo wants to be felt rather than seen. Engraved metal on pens, bottles and keepsakes reads as permanent — the piece stays on the desk because it doesn't feel like merch. Finally, always order a sample. Forty-eight hours from request to your creative director's desk. The weight, the finish, the feel of the box opening — none of it shows up in a render. Fast can still feel thoughtful, and that's the standard we hold ourselves to on every launch.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb for launch kits at 100 units: standard kits (tote, notebook, pen, card) land at AU$18-$45 per kit with 1-2 colour branding; mid-tier kits (ceramic mug, notebook, sticker set, custom mailer) at AU$45-$85; premium press drops and founder boxes (leather notebook, ceramic mug, candle, hand-signed card, tissue, ribbon, custom box) at AU$85-$220. At 500 units expect 20-35% off the 100-qty tier. Custom mailer boxes from AU$4.50 per unit at 250qty. Setup charges AU$40-$85 per colour, once-off. Hand-kitting and tissue-wrap AU$2.50-$6 per kit.
Delivery across Australia
Delivered Australia-wide in 7-15 business days standard — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra daily. Many lines branded in 1-4 business days with 3-5 day express on 400+ SKUs for late briefs. Timed-release dispatch means your press drop arrives the morning the release goes out, not a day early. Multi-venue split-ship for activation tours and retail rollouts at no extra handling.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for a product launch giveaway kit?▾
Most curated launch kits start at 50-100 units, with many hero items available from 25 on pilot and VIP press runs. Premium founder boxes typically start at 50. For nationwide activations and retail rollouts at 1,000+, expect 25-35% off the 100-qty tier — we'll put together a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000.
How long does a product launch giveaway take to produce and deliver?▾
Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval for curated kits, including hand-kitting and custom packaging. Many core lines brand in 1-4 business days with 3-5 day express on 400+ SKUs. For campaign launches, we plan backwards from your release date and use timed-release dispatch to land kits exactly when you need them.
Can you handle custom packaging, kitting and multi-venue dispatch?▾
Yes — this is the part we enjoy most. Custom mailer boxes, rigid gift boxes, branded tissue, ribbon, sticker seals, hand-signed cards and full kitting are all handled in-house. We split-ship to influencer addresses, retail stores, state offices or event venues on the same brief, with no extra handling.
What branding methods work best on launch merchandise?▾
Full-colour digital print and tone-on-tone deboss are the two finishes that carry a launch best — digital handles gradient and photography, deboss handles quiet-luxury palettes. We also offer pad print, screen print, edge-to-edge sublimation, engraved metal and custom embroidery. Our in-house design studio builds mockups across every method before artwork lock.
Can I see a sample of a launch kit before I order?▾
Yes. Samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork and packaging are available on larger runs — your creative director holds the real thing before the drop goes live. After 30 years of launches, we know that the weight, the finish and the opening moment are what people decide on. Samples are charged at cost plus freight and credited back on orders of 100+ units — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order.
Do you offer eco-friendly options for launch giveaways?▾
Yes. Our eco launch range includes rPET totes, organic cotton, FSC kraft paper, seeded-paper cards, recycled mailer boxes and lower-ink packaging. GOTS and FSC-certified options are available on request. Sustainability, done credibly — we've been refining this range for more than a decade.
