As summer winds down and the school year approaches, it’s the perfect time for organizations to stand out with promotional products designed for students, educators, and school communities. From branded apparel to smart tech accessories, the right swag does more than promote a name—it sparks school spirit, shows appreciation, and builds long-lasting visibility.
PGS Printing & Graphics works with schools, PTAs, educational vendors, and community organizations to deliver high-quality custom products that align with the excitement of back-to-school season. As backpacks fill and buses roll out, outfitting staff, welcoming students, or organizing a community event with the right gear helps everyone start the year strong.
Branded Apparel That Builds Identity
Custom T-shirts are a staple of school pride. For spirit week, the first day of school, or fundraising campaigns, branded apparel turns students and staff into walking ambassadors. T-shirts also help unify volunteer teams, special programs, and administrative staff.
With a range of sizes, colors, and cuts, it’s easy to stay on-brand and inclusive. See the latest branded T-shirts here.
Tech Accessories for the Modern Classroom
As digital tools become part of daily instruction, tech accessories make useful and timely giveaways. Items like USB drives, phone stands, and screen cleaners are especially popular—they stay in backpacks, on desks, and even at home.
They’re also a great choice for tutoring centers, education services, and local businesses looking to build awareness in school communities. Browse technology accessories here.
Branded Water Bottles: A Smart, Sustainable Choice
Reusable water bottles promote wellness and sustainability—two priorities for today’s schools. Whether for staff, students, or athletic teams, they’re a practical, daily-use item with long-term visibility.
Options range from stainless steel to collapsible bottles, with a wide variety of colors and features. See water bottle options here.
Pens: Small, Useful, and Always Visible
Pens are an affordable, everyday item that people actually use. Whether passed out at orientations, placed in staff kits, or stocked at reception, a good pen reinforces your brand again and again.
With many ink colors, finishes, and styles available, there’s no shortage of creative options. Explore pen styles here.
Thoughtful Gifts for Teachers
Teachers are at the heart of every school, and thoughtful branded gifts go a long way in showing gratitude. Tote bags, desktop organizers, and even plantable note sets can turn a simple gesture into a memorable one.
These items work well for welcome kits, staff appreciation events, or teacher in-service days. Discover teacher gift ideas here.
