Welcome new team members or mark a moment

Onboarding is a critical part of the employee experience — especially when that employee is working remote and naturally going to feel a little more disconnected from the company than they would if they were coming into the office daily. Company t-shirts are a small but significant tool for making new team members feel welcome. It's like joining a new sports team and being given a jersey — it's that little extra step that makes people realize "Oh hey, I'm a part of this now."

Build a Work from Home kit

It doesn't stop at just t-shirts.

Create a branded swag kit that you can ship to your remote employees so that everything they interact with in their workday — from the shirt they're wearing to the water bottle they're drinking from to the pen they're writing with — is on-brand and a functional reminder of the team they're a part of. Best news yet? Real Thread's fulfillment services make it super easy for you to ship swag kits directly to your dispersed team members.

Help Scout's Story

Hear from Help Scout's Marketing Designer, Bronwyn Gruet, about how Real Thread helps make her remote teams feel more connected!

"Help Scout is 100% remote — we have small offices in Boston and Boulder that we use to onboard new hires, but our team works all over the world.

As a remote company, we rely on a-synchronous communication, video calls, and a lot of trust and transparency in order to work well together.

Shirts they'll actually love wearing

Say goodbye to boxy, scratchy company t-shirts. Real Thread specializes in printing soft, stylish t-shirts your team will actually like to wear. We believe that great designs deserve great canvases — which is why we're super picky about the products we source and the customization methods we use.
