Top 5 Promotional Product Ideas For Schools

Schools use promotional products for all sorts of things. From school uniforms to drink bottles, games and more, there are lots of products schools use to help reinforce the school’s name, so we thought it might be good to list what we think are the top 5 ideas on what schools use the more. Hopefully, it will help you choose what you need for your school.

1) School Polo Shirts: This has to be one of the biggest selling items to schools. Branded uniforms are an important way to be able to identify students from a particular school. It is important to make things uniform across all grades, so embroidered polo shirts are the perfect way to do this. There is a huge range available from cotton to moisture-wicking polos they are great for sports days.

2) Embroidered Caps: Another part of a school uniform that is important is headwear. This is especially important when it comes to the climate in Australia. Kids coming to school, but also when they are in the playground for lunch, need sun protection. From a basic baseball cap, you can go to a bucket hat that has a wide brim around the hat, you can go to ones that give much better protection such as legionnaire caps. These are great as they have a flap at the back and side to ensure no damaging sun gets through.

3) Custom Drink Bottles: These are another very popular promotional item for schools. Keep the kids hydrated during the day by giving them each a drink bottle. There are easy to use bottles with pop lids, so they can quickly access the water. The great thing about drink bottles is the print area. Many you can brand all the way around the bottles, so you can put your school crest on one side and on the other you could maybe give some important points as to why the kids should stay hydrated, or you could put some information about the school. You can choose from plastic or if you want something harder wearing for all the bumps and knocks, get either metal or aluminium bottles. All of them are BPA free.

4) Branded Backpacks: Kids will need something to carry all their homework in, along with their lunch, drink bottle and other assorted things they need for a school day and a great way to carry all this is with a backpack. They are better than a case as the shoulder straps allow for the weight to be evenly distributed across their backs, reducing the strain. Many modern backpacks have plenty of extras such as eyelets for them to feed their earphones through so they can still listen to their music while travelling to school. Many also have a padded section for a laptop in case they need to bring their own laptop to school and usually, they have a large main compartment they can put all their books or clothing for sports day.

5) Printed Lunch Boxes: Keep your kids healthy by preparing a meal for them to take to school for lunch rather than ordering from the canteen. A lunch box is a perfect way to keep food fresh and you can brand the school logo on most of the lids. Promote healthy eating for the kids, while also reinforcing your school brand.
