The Complete Back to School Print & Brand Checklist for Schools, Businesses & Families

August is coming. And whether you're a principal who needs hallways looking sharp, a PTA chair ordering spirit wear, a small business trying to capture back to school foot traffic, or a mom sending her kid off in style — this is your complete back to school checklist from GraphiSource.

We handle print, design, signage, apparel, and promotional products for everyone in the B2S season — schools, businesses, and families alike. Serving Grovetown, GA and shipping to all 50 states and the US Virgin Islands.

For Schools & Administrators

1. Welcome Back Banners

"Welcome Back, Panthers!" A vinyl banner outside your school sets the tone before students arrive. Full color, weather-resistant, grommeted and ready to hang. Order 3 weeks before school starts.

2. Hallway Motivational Signage

Custom posters, mission statements, and values displays students see every day. Printed on foam board or laminated poster stock in any size. These are the things that shape school culture quietly all year long.

3. Staff Appreciation Welcome Kits

Custom branded tumblers, notepads, and lanyards packaged as a welcome back kit for every staff member. Administration investing in teachers shows — and word travels. These also make great gifts from the PTA.

4. Event Programs & Year Calendars

Print your full school year calendar and first semester programs before year one starts. Being organized from day one sets the professional tone you want. We do small runs for specialty events and large runs for school-wide distribution.

For PTAs & Booster Clubs

5. Spirit Wear — Shirts, Hoodies & Hats

The earlier you order the better. Spirit wear takes design, approval, production, and delivery time. Order by July 15 for guaranteed back to school arrival. We do DTF printing and embroidery on shirts, hoodies, polos, and hats in your school colors.

6. Spirit Packs for Students

Bundle a button, a sticker sheet, a schedule card, and a fan sign into a spirit pack. Hand them out at orientation or sell at the gate. Spirit packs create instant school culture and give students something to hold on to literally and figuratively.

7. Fundraiser Flyers & Order Forms

Professionally printed fundraiser materials drive better results than black and white copies sent home. Bright, clear, and well-designed flyers actually get read. We print from 100 to 10,000 pieces.

For Teachers

8. Custom Classroom Labels & Supply Tags

Label bins, cubbies, folders, and name tags with custom printed labels. Organized classrooms start with organized materials. We print on sheet labels in any size — peel and stick and done.

9. Welcome Postcards to Families

A welcome postcard mailed by a teacher before school starts creates an immediate connection with families. A small, powerful gesture. 4x6 postcards, professionally printed, makes the impression that lasts all year.

10. Teacher Planners & Custom Notepads

We design and print custom teacher planners with your preferred layout. Class schedule, weekly plan, notes, parent contact tracker. These also make beautiful staff gifts from administration or the PTA.

For Local Businesses — Capture B2S Traffic

11. Back to School Window Graphics & Signage

If your business benefits from back to school traffic — a children's boutique, a tutoring center, a salon, a restaurant near a school — your window should say so. Custom window graphics, A-frame signs, and in-store banners turn browsers into buyers during the B2S rush.

12. Punch Cards & Loyalty Cards

Back to school season is the perfect time to launch or refresh a loyalty program. Custom designed punch cards and loyalty cards keep customers coming back. A well-designed loyalty card for a salon, coffee shop, or boutique is a small investment with a massive retention return. We design and print these beautifully — nothing generic, nothing cookie-cutter.

13. Branded Back to School Promotions

"Show your school ID for 10% off." "Back to school special through August 31." Custom printed promotional materials — shelf signs, window clings, counter cards, flyers — make your B2S promotion feel official and worth taking seriously.

For Families

14. First Day Photo Props

"First Day of 2nd Grade." "Senior Year." "Kindergarten, Here I Come." Custom printed photo signs and stickers for the annual first day photo. These get framed. These get shared. Order early — they sell out every year.

15. Personalized Labels for School Supplies

Waterproof vinyl labels for lunchboxes, water bottles, and backpacks. Your kid's name, grade, and teacher on every important item. Dishwasher safe. School year durable. The thing every organized parent buys.
