Why are custom ties a good corporate holiday gift?

Custom ties are a good corporate holiday gift because they are personal enough to feel considered and professional enough to give to any client, partner or employee. A tie designed around your logo or colors gets worn to meetings, presentations and dinners, so the gift keeps working long after the wrapping is gone.

Most holiday gifts compete with dozens of similar boxes arriving the same week. Food is eaten, mugs and pens pile up, and gift cards say little about the company that sent them. A tie made to your artwork is different: it is clearly from you, it fits a professional wardrobe, and it carries your brand into rooms where your logo would otherwise never appear.

• Lasting use: a well-made tie stays in rotation for years, not days.
• Brand presence: a subtle repeating logo or crest reads as tasteful, not promotional.
• Easy to ship: a tie is light, flat and simple to send to clients in other cities.
• Inclusive options: bow ties and knitted ties give recipients a choice of style within one design.

Which tie style should we choose for clients versus employees?

For clients and board members, choose woven silk ties with a discreet logo or crest, because the woven pattern looks refined and holds detail well. For employee gifts, printed silk or polyester ties in company colors work well, especially when you want a bolder pattern or a seasonal design that the whole team can wear together.

Many companies split one holiday program into two or three designs: a premium woven tie for top clients, a printed company-color tie for staff, and matching bow ties for the holiday party hosts. Each design starts from a minimum of 12, so a small client list does not force a large order.

How subtle should the logo be on a holiday gift tie?

On a holiday gift tie, the logo should usually be subtle: a small repeating mark, a single crest below the knot, or brand colors worked into stripes. Recipients wear ties that look like good ties first and branded items second, so restraint is what turns a gift into something people actually put on.

A loud, oversized logo can make a tie feel like event merchandise. A tone-on-tone repeat, a fine pattern in your secondary color, or a crest placed where it shows only when a jacket is open keeps the brand present without overpowering the outfit. For employee gifts you can be bolder, since staff often enjoy wearing the company colors at the holiday party and at company events.

• Repeating mark: a small logo spaced evenly across the blade.
• Single crest: one woven emblem below the knot for a club-tie look.
• Brand stripes: diagonal stripes in company colors with no logo at all.
• Seasonal twist: a winter motif mixed into the repeat for a limited holiday edition.

When should we order custom ties for holiday gifting?

Order custom ties for holiday gifting as early as you can, ideally before the busy weeks leading into the season. Get Custom Ties returns a free mockup within 24 hours and standard production takes about 2 weeks after design approval, so the real variable is how quickly your team reviews and approves the artwork.

Approvals often slow down when several people need to sign off on a gift going to clients. Settle the recipient list, the styles and the logo files before you request a quote, and name one person who can approve the final mockup. If the date is tight, express shipping is available, but planning ahead leaves room for revisions and for you to add gift notes and packaging before the ties go out.

1. Agree on recipients and budget range internally.
2. Send your logo, colors and preferred styles through the quote form.
3. Review the free mockup within 24 hours and request revisions.
4. Approve the design; production takes about 2 weeks.
5. Pack, label and send the ties to recipients before the holiday break.

Can one holiday order include neckties and bow ties?

Yes, one holiday order can include neckties and bow ties made from the same design, which is useful when some recipients prefer a bow tie or when holiday party hosts need a more festive look. Each style counts toward its own minimum of 12, and the mockup shows how the pattern scales on both shapes.

A matched set works well for company celebrations. Executives might wear the woven necktie while event staff wear the matching bow ties, and the whole room looks coordinated in photos. For employees who work around machinery or in fast-paced roles, clip-on ties in the same pattern are another option within the same gift program.

Mixing styles also helps when you do not know every recipient’s taste. A short preference survey sent to staff before ordering lets people choose a necktie, bow tie or skinny tie, and the gift feels chosen rather than assigned.

What should we send to get a holiday tie quote?

To get a holiday tie quote, send your logo in the best format you have, your brand colors, the styles you want, rough quantities for each design and the date the ties need to arrive. Get Custom Ties uses that information to build a free mockup within 24 hours and confirm whether the date works.

Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG or PDF give the cleanest result, but a high-resolution image is enough to start. If you want a seasonal design, describe the idea in a sentence or two, for example a winter motif mixed with your logo, and the design team will turn it into a pattern you can revise. You pay nothing until you approve the design.

• Logo or crest file and brand colors
• Styles: woven, printed, knitted, skinny, clip-on or bow tie
• Approximate quantity per design, from 12
• Delivery date and shipping address or addresses
• Any gift packaging or note requests
