You can start small with pens and rulers or create a complete back-to-school package from the get-go!
Personalized pens and writing instruments
Pens remain one of the most popular promotional products. They're compact, affordable, and fit into every school pack. At PrintSimple, you'll find a wide range of pens, from budget-friendly ballpoint pens to eco pens, stylus pens, and premium writing instruments.
For back-to-school campaigns, printed pens are especially effective because everyone uses them. Students take them to lectures, and employees and staff use them in the office or during meetings. This keeps your logo visible in a natural, non-intrusive way.
Want to make your package even stronger? Combine pens with printed notebooks, rulers, or tote bags.
Rulers with logo for schools and offices
A ruler is compact and unsurprisingly useful. At PrintSimple, you can personalize rulers with your logo, slogan, or message. Various sizes are available, including 15 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm. Depending on the product, you can also choose flexible rulers or models made from recycled plastic.
Printed rulers are ideal for schools, technical education, creative programs, offices, and trade shows. They're easy to hand out, often remain in pencil cases or desk drawers for years, and provide long-lasting brand visibility.
Customized backpacks and drawstring bags
A bag is used every day throughout the school year, making printed backpacks and drawstring bags excellent choices for back-to-school campaigns. They combine strong brand visibility with practical everyday use, giving your brand exposure at school, on the way to work, during sports, or on outings.
Backpacks are ideal for students, employees, and premium gift packs. Choose from simple drawstring bags, durable everyday backpacks, or laptop backpacks for students and professionals. Lightweight drawstring bags are particularly suitable for sports clubs, youth organizations, school promotions, camps, and sports days.
Looking for an affordable promotional item? A drawstring bag is often the perfect choice. Want a more premium look? A sturdy backpack or laptop bag is a better fit.
Complete back-to-school packs
An effective back-to-school package consists of products that naturally complement one another. Think beyond appearance and focus on items your audience will genuinely use. For example, a tote bag filled with a printed pen, ruler, notebook, and brochure works perfectly for an open day or information event. Sports clubs may prefer a drawstring bag filled with a water bottle, towel, or sports shirt.
Popular combinations include:
- Pen, ruler, and notebook for schools and educational institutions
- Tote bag with flyers, pens, and promotional gadgets for open days
- Drawstring bag with a water bottle for sports clubs and camps
- Backpack with a notebook and lanyard for students or employees
- Lunch box and water bottle for family-oriented campaigns
- Eco-friendly promotional items for sustainable campaigns
This transforms individual promotional products into one recognizable package that fits both your brand and the new school year.
More sustainable back-to-school products
Looking for promotional products that support a more sustainable campaign? Choose products made from environmentally conscious materials, such as eco pens, bags made from recycled cotton or rPET, reusable water bottles, or rulers manufactured from recycled plastic.
These more sustainable back-to-school products are ideal when you want to make more responsible choices when it comes to materials. They show you're not simply giving something away but choosing useful products designed for repeated use.
As an added benefit, PrintSimple plants one tree for every order placed, helping you combine branded school supplies with a more sustainable story.
Preparing your artwork for printed school supplies
A high-quality print file results in a better finished product. Consider the printable area, safe margins, and the material of the item. A flyer, for example, requires a different approach than artwork for a backpack, tote bag, or ruler.
For promotional products such as pens, rulers, and water bottles, the available print options depend on the product and printing technique. In some cases, a simple logo print is the best solution, while other products allow for larger or full-color designs.
