If you’re in Higher Education, we’re sure you’ll be in good company with us.

Whether you’re organising outreach & recruitment events, open and applicant days, student fresher fairs, graduation events or something for your alumni or staff, there’s a wide range of sustainable promotional products we can source to help meet your requirements.

We have over 15 years’ experience in the Higher Education sector, dealing with Universities across the UK.

Contact us and we’ll gladly discuss your requirements

We’ll even aim to price match quotes from competitors (and sometimes even beat those).

Products that are often ordered include:

Tablecloths

These are often ordered by universities for various events such as Open Days, Recruitment Days, business exhibitions and UCAS events (for visitors to easily see who’s who).

When ordering tablecloths, it’s important to consider the following:

  • Dimensions – 3m x 1.5m is by far the most popular though we can source other sizes and table runners too
  • Branding options – to front overhang (best placement) – CAD cut for single colour logos in black or white, or transfer for digital branding in multi-colours
  • Maximum branding area – about 700mm wide by 400mm high (dependant on logo dimensions and positioning)
  • Colours – around 20 to choose from but most popular are black, royal blue, navy blue, red and lime green (ask us to send over an image of the swatch card)
  • Minimum order – just one per design. Price breaks at 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100.

Lanyards

Lanyards have always been popular with our higher education customers. Don’t forget to consider:

  • Material – although polyester is still the most ordered (42 standard colours), there are more sustainable options including bamboo, rPET etc
  • Width – 10, 15, 20mm wide
  • Minimum order – usually 50 or 100, with price breaks at around 250-300, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 and 10000
  • Branding requirements – screen printing (for one or two spot colours generally) or dye sub / heat transfer for CMYK full colour logos. Also consider if to print to one side or both of the lanyards
  • Always included – safety break and clip
  • Accessories – optional extras include (but not limited to) rigid open faced card holders, clear recycled plastic wallets and various different types of clip
  • Timescale – we can source from the UK for a lower footprint for a quicker delivery, but this is usually more expensive. Or Far East (3-4 weeks from approval but longer around UK and FE holidays).
