Schools are always on the lookout for ways to motivate students, pass along positive messages, and create the colourful and welcoming environment that their students deserve.

Adding custom canvas, posters, banners and even durable wallpaper is a great way to brighten up even older buildings, and banners made of sturdy vinyl, acrylic or aluminium can be used indoors or out. Not only do they add colour and style, they can also help absorb sound to reduce noisy echoing, especially in large areas such as cafeterias, gyms, and auditoriums.

Adding printed images to your school interior and exterior is the perfect way to show your school spirit, and there are many types available for every application from the front hall to the gym wall!

• Back to School – School banners are the ideal way to welcome your students back to school in style. Seeing colourful vinyl banners as they enter your school will instantly give students a dose of school spirit to start the year off right. You can have your banner custom made at your specifications and include the school logo or a favourite saying. Consider adding a motto or saying that is important for your school and motivational to students and these banners will be used year after year as students look forward to starting the year off right.

• Directional – Printed posters and signs are the perfect way to direct traffic around school events. Whether you need to point parents or students to orientation meetings or want to clearly mark where certain daily events are occurring, these can help you point students in the right direction. Use directional print with your school slogan and logo and the sign becomes part direction and part decoration.

• Informational – Got a big event coming up? Custom prints are the perfect way to keep students and the public involved. Whether it is an annual event such as a school dance, fundraiser, book fair, or charity event, you will gain attention to your event with a vinyl banner. You can even order prints that feature changeable Velcro dates so you can add the date each year.

• Motivational – Keeping your students motivated to create a positive learning environment is one of the most important things that you can do. Many educators have put a lot of effort into developing slogans or coming up with motivational messages that help to keep students excited about learning, and school banners serve as a constant reminder of those messages. You can order banners with a custom message that you develop on your own, or pick from a large selection of pre-designed messages that you can change throughout the year.

• Sporty – Custom banners hung in gyms are the best way to recognise the achievements of teams and athletes at your school as well as creating the type of environment that fosters healthy competition between schools and encourages teamwork. Hang custom vinyl banners on the wall of your gym to remind students of your school’s traditions and keep school spirit strong.
