The programme

Corporate gifting that survives the drawer

Most corporate gifts in Canada are bought once a year, under time pressure, from a promotional catalogue. The result is predictable: a logo mug, a fleece vest, a tote. Appreciated politely, forgotten by February. The budget is spent; the goodwill isn't earned.

Venque Corporate exists because a good bag is the exception. We're a Toronto carry brand first — fifteen years designing bags people buy at full retail because they want them. When your logo goes on one, you're branding an object your team would have chosen anyway. That's the whole difference between a gift and a giveaway.

What we do

We produce custom-branded premium bags for Canadian companies: employee onboarding kits, client and partner gifts, milestone and recognition programmes, conference and event gifting. Every programme includes your choice of branding method, individual custom gift boxes, and delivery to one office or many addresses.

Why the minimum is 10

Most promotional suppliers start at fifty units or more, and overseas factories often want five hundred. That forces a forty-person company to over-order and leaves boxes in a storage room. We start at 10 pieces — deliberately low, so a small team, a single event, or a department budget can run a proper programme without waste. Most orders we ship land between 40 and 80 pieces.

Which bag

Our corporate range is small and deliberately chosen, and it grows. The Envoy is our executive backpack and the usual choice for client gifts and leadership programmes. The Voya is its counterpart in tote form — the same materials and hardware in a shoulder-carried silhouette, for recipients who don't want a backpack. Both take the same branding, the same gift box, and the same 10-piece minimum, and a single programme can mix them. For larger teams and onboarding at volume, the Transit Alpha 20L is lighter and more casual, and comes in Black or Ash. You can compare the backpacks on our branded backpacks page.

The bags

Every bag in the programme takes the same branding methods, the same gift box, and the same 10-piece minimum. Here's what's available now.

Backpack

The Envoy

A clean, structured commuter built for the boardroom: matte coated-leather panels over ballistic nylon, gunmetal hardware, and a silhouette that stays sharp full or empty. Comparable in build to bags twice as loud.

Tote

The Voya

An executive work-and-travel tote with the same discipline as the Envoy in a softer silhouette: water-resistant nylon with leather-trimmed handles that sit cleanly on the shoulder, a full-width exterior zip pocket, and the same gunmetal brand plate. Structured enough for a client meeting, roomy enough for an overnight.

Pricing

How corporate pricing works

Volume-based, quoted firm alongside your mockup. Branding, packaging, and delivery are itemised up front rather than discovered on the invoice.

10–39 pieces

Small programme

Department gifts, speaker and VIP tiers, executive recognition. Modest discount off our $199–$249 CAD retail, with the same branding options and gift boxes as any larger run.

40–250 pieces

Standard programme

Where most corporate orders land. Meaningful volume discount, custom gift boxes included, and distribution to one office or individual addresses across Canada.

250+ pieces

Enterprise programme

Annual onboarding and multi-site programmes. Best per-unit pricing, scheduled production runs, and stock held for release through the year.

Exact per-unit pricing depends on quantity, bag, branding method, and packaging. Mixed orders count toward the same volume tier. Tell us your numbers and we'll return a firm quote within 48 hours.

Questions

The details

What is the minimum order for corporate gifts?

Custom-branded programmes start at 10 units, including custom gift boxes. That's deliberately low — most promotional suppliers in Canada start at fifty or more, and overseas factories often want five hundred. Most of our corporate orders land between 40 and 250 pieces.

How is pricing structured?

Volume-based, with meaningful discounts off our $199–$249 CAD retail at gifting quantities. Pricing depends on quantity, which bag, the branding method, and packaging. Tell us your quantity and we'll return a firm per-unit quote alongside your mockup — usually within 48 hours.

What branding options are available?

Four: laser engraving or printing on the removable gunmetal plate, tone-on-tone debossing into the coated-leather panel, a woven or printed label inside the main compartment, and your logo on the custom gift box. All four are available on both the Envoy and the Voya. Interior placement is our most requested option — it keeps the gift personal rather than turning your team into walking advertisements.

What artwork do you need?

A vector file (AI, EPS, SVG, or high-res PDF) of your logo. If you only have a PNG, send it — we can usually work from it or advise on what we'd need.

How fast can you deliver?

Mockup in 48 hours, physical sample in 1–2 weeks, production in 6–8 weeks — roughly 10 to 12 weeks door to door. Tight deadline? Tell us the date; expedited options exist for most of North America. For a September onboarding class or a fall conference, start the conversation in July.

Do you ship corporate gifts across Canada?

Yes. We're based in Toronto and ship anywhere in Canada and the United States. Orders can go to a single office or be individually boxed, labelled, and sent to each recipient's address — useful for distributed and remote teams.

Which bag should we choose?

The Envoy is our executive backpack — the usual choice for client gifts, leadership programmes, and anything where the recipient will carry it into a meeting. The Voya is the tote counterpart: same materials, same hardware, same branding options, carried on the shoulder rather than the back. The Transit Alpha 20L is lighter and more casual, and better suited to larger teams and onboarding at volume. Compare the backpacks on our branded backpacks page.

Can we mix different bags in one programme?

Yes, and most teams do. Recipients can be offered a choice — a backpack, a tote, or whatever else suits them — and every piece counts toward the same volume tier, so a mixed order of 40 is priced as 40, not as separate runs. It doesn't change the minimum or the timeline.

Can we order more than one colour in a single run?

Yes. The Transit Alpha comes in Black and Ash, and a single programme can mix both. Mixed-colour runs don't change the minimum or the timeline.

Are corporate gifts tax deductible in Canada?

Physical gifts are generally deductible as a marketing or promotion expense, while food, drink, and entertainment gifts typically fall under the 50% entertainment limitation. We're not accountants — confirm your specific situation with yours.
