Being responsible for an educational facility – elementary, secondary, or beyond – is hard work. You have a million things to take care of, not to mention budgeting and schedules. Anything you can do to simplify a new school year is a welcome relief. When it comes to school décor, you're not alone.
When students walk into the front doors on the first day of school, you want to give them a new experience year in and year out. From cafeteria signage to door decals, wouldn’t it be great if all those graphics were easier to organize, afford, and manage? They can be. Read on to learn how you can combine reusable graphics with more permanent solutions to create a lasting educational experience.Sustainable and affordable!
Schools need custom graphics for a lot of different reasons. We’ve worked with educational facilities to provide a huge variety of graphics like branded cafeterias, safety-focused window films, floor graphics, equipment wrapping, wall murals, and more. If every school had to start over on their graphics package every year, it would be much harder to justify. Administration might be able to understand the many benefits of bright and engaging education graphics, but unwilling to splurge on single use items.
When reusable options are chosen in conjunction with other décor solutions, you can plan over a period of years. Your school is then given the opportunity to cycle through different banners and other materials over time, increasing cost effectiveness. That's not to mention the environmental implications of reusing valuable materials that don't end up in a landfill.
There are a lot of different options when it comes to reusable graphics.
The applications for reusable graphics are more numerous than you might think. Here are some fun use cases we've come across:
- Print a series of custom banners printed that can be used during annual events and seasons. Spring, fall, and winter sports, annual dances, school spirit week, you name it. These can be produced once and provide seasonal refreshes for years to come.
- Interchangeable magnetic graphics are a great way to invest in a graphics system that keeps on providing. Using a product called Magna-Mount, we can install a grid of magnetic graphics that can be switched out by anyone. Printing or reprinting new graphics for this system is a breeze.
- Seasonal graphics, particularly for fall and winter holidays, can be printed back-to-back and shipped together to reduce material costs and cut down on waste. Using standalone graphics systems, anyone in the school can swap these sorts of graphics out as needed.
Spice up permanent décor with temporary elements.
Many schools come to us for large, permanent branding projects that truly transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary experiences for students and faculty. These projects often focus heavily on school branding and team spirit. What they're missing are the seasonal elements that make each passing month a new experience for students. By combining some of the reusable elements mentioned above with these great permanent refreshes, you can turn any space into a better learning environment.
