Custom school supplies can boost pride and confidence among students.
That might sound like a big claim for items as small as customizable pens, but it’s true. Youth who feel connected to their schools are more likely to experience a healthy adolescent development and a decrease in aggressive behavior, according to a government study.
But how?
A student gains a sense of belonging when he drinks from a tumbler printed with his school mascot. If that personalized school cup was given to him by his teacher for earning straight A’s, his self-esteem soars. Everyone wants to belong, especially kids. It’s really that simple.
Custom school supplies are also an affordable way for educators to promote teamwork and improve safety. Lanyards printed with school names and colors can help unite a scholastic bowl team. Personalized drawstring bags can quickly identify a group of kids on a field trip.
Totally Promotional offers a variety of products that build school spirit among students of all ages. How about a fun little product preview?

Top 5 school promo items
Bags

Customized backpacks and drawstring bags help students stay organized and keep their notebooks, snacks and gym clothing secure. Bags made with polyester fabric can be wiped clean and deodorized.
Tote bags are a lifesaver for avid readers who frequently visit the library. They’re also handy for carrying special show-and-tell items. Kids and college students won’t beg for over-priced, name-brand duffel and gym bags when their entire team proudly sports a customized bag with their school name. Laundry bags encourage college kids to keep dirty clothes off the floor. Local laundry businesses can have them printed with their logo and special discount offers for students on campus.
Attention: Parent-teacher organizations, academic and athletic coaches, laundromats, sports boosters
Lanyards
Custom lanyards are a necessity in many schools for security reasons. They keep entry cards at the fingertips of faculty members and provide quick identification. They also are given to visitors to wear while on school premises. Personalized school lanyards are a must-have item for students and teachers attending workshops and conferences outside the district.
Totally Promotional offers free standard delivery, free print setup and a free art proof on all lanyards. Plus, all of our lanyard attachments meet Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act standards.
