The back-to-school season is one of the busiest times of the year for schools, colleges, universities, and community organisations. It’s also a fantastic opportunity for businesses to build brand awareness through practical promotional merchandise that students and staff will use every day.
At Lancaster Printing, we specialise in high-quality, affordable promotional products that are perfect for students. From essentials like lanyards and travel card holders to fun and eye-catching wristbands, our products are designed to combine practicality with visibility. Here are some of the best back-to-school promotional products to consider this year.
Wristbands
One of our most popular categories, custom wristbands are a brilliant choice for schools, colleges, and universities. They’re often used for events such as freshers’ fairs, open days, and school activities. With options including silicone, fabric, and Tyvek® wristbands, they can be personalised with your branding, school name, or event slogan.
They’re lightweight, cost-effective, and can also be colour-coded for easy organisation, making them ideal for everything from fundraising campaigns to student societies.
Lanyards
With many schools and universities adopting stricter security measures, lanyards have become a back-to-school staple. Perfect for holding ID cards, key cards, and passes, they’re used daily by both staff and students.
Custom lanyards not only serve a practical purpose but also provide excellent visibility for your logo. They’re especially popular during freshers’ week and open days, where clear identification is essential.
Travel Card Holders
For students commuting by train, tram, or bus, travel card holders are a must-have accessory. Compact and practical, they keep passes safe and accessible while offering a prominent area for branding.
They’re an excellent giveaway at university welcome events or local school initiatives and can provide repeated daily exposure for your organisation.
Branded Bags
A practical bag is essential for carrying books, sports kits, or laptops. Drawstring bags and other lightweight designs are especially popular for students as they’re convenient, affordable, and easy to customise.
With a large branding area, promotional bags are an effective way to keep your logo visible on campus and beyond.
Custom Pens
It wouldn’t be back-to-school season without pens. Branded pens are timeless promotional items that every student needs, whether for note-taking in lectures or revising for exams. Affordable, practical, and widely used, they’re an excellent way to keep your message in front of your audience all year round.
