What Are My Options for Customised & Promotional Products for Schools?
Schools generally require a standard set of printed products to use, including but not limited to certificates, calendars and enrolment packs. Often teachers and office administers will spend precious time designing, printing and then photocopying these in-house, which increases their workload and stress levels.
Outsourcing the printing of specific customised and promotional products for schools is an effective way of ensuring staff can manage their workload and have the resources the school community requires. Types of products that a school can order include:
- School and sports team uniform items, such as socks, sweatshirts and polo shirts branded with the school logo
- Rugby, netball, volleyball, AFL and soccer balls branded with the school logo and colours for both playground use and competitive matches
- School certificates to celebrate achievements and recognise success of students, which can be printed on coloured card in greyscale or colour, include specific phrases like the school motto and other variable data. Available in both A5 and A4 sizes.
- Magnetic word sets which are useful in the classroom for both teaching and organisational purposes
- Lanyards to hold face masks make life easier for everyone. With the mask mandates in schools, masks are regularly turning up in lost property boxes. Using a lanyard with a face mask helps to keep it with its owner as it can hang around their neck when not being worn.
- Fundraising promotional products to help raise money for the school, such as lunch boxes, soft toys, sunhats, and eco-friendly fundraising products
- Podium medals for calf and lamb days, sports competitions and school events, which are loved and treasured by kids for years to come!
- Branded stationery sets and pencil cases to give as rewards for achievement and effort at school
- Backpacks for teachers and sports teams to use, or a part of the school uniform
- Badges for staff and volunteers to wear, very handy for office staff and for teachers when attending professional development courses or parent interviews
- Branded drink bottles to take with you on sports tournaments
- Stationery items such as printed letterhead, school newsletters, diaries, and calendars, folders and business cards
- Covid 19 laminated, printed, and waterproof signage

We can also assist with the manufacture and installation of physical signage, including flags, ACM signs, Corten steel signage, building signage and window decals.
Once you know what your school wants, even if further customisation is required, it is time to choose a professional printing company to work with. Let’s take a look at what you can expect when working with them.
What Schools Can Expect When Using Professional Printing Services
When outsourcing the printing of school and fundraising supplies, it is important that you choose a professional printer who will meet your expectations, deliver on time and are affordable. Arrange a time to meet with them remotely or in person, discuss your school’s product requirements and budget. From here they’ll be best positioned to advise you.
Based in Mosgiel, we work with preschools, schools, and tertiary institutions from around the local Dunedin and Otago area, as well as NZ wide. When you choose us as your professional printer, you can expect:
- Highly professional and experienced team who can manage your entire project from design through to delivery. We’ll help you with organising print-ready files, print colour matching to your school colours, identifying the most suitable products and materials and project management. Communication is one of our strong points, where as much as possible you will work with a key member of our team and be updated on your job progress. Reordering is simple too; just contact us as we’ll have everything stored on file ready to use again.
- Graphic design – customised and promotional products for schools require the skills of a graphic designer. If your school does not have access to one, our in-house graphic designers are more than happy to assist with anything from organising print ready files, logo design and creation of customised images and designs.
- Top quality products – our in-house printing equipment is of an exceptionally high quality and is suitable for manufacturing a wide variety of products, as is that of any suppliers we use. We choose only top-quality materials to print upon and have a variety available for you to select from.

- Delivery – we’ll arrange a no hassle delivery to your school of your well packaged school supplies ready for you to use or distribute.
