This eye-level studio shot depicts hands holding school supplies against a blue backdrop. There is an alarm clock, a pink sticky note, notebooks, colorful pencils, eyeglasses and a pink backpack. The hands are raised, and the colors are soft and inviting. This image can be used for advertising back-to-school sales, or to represent learning. This fun, engaging photo is perfect for projects centered on education, organization, and preparation.

Back to School Displays, Signage & Education Print

Create a clear, welcoming start to the new school year

Back-to-school displays can help pupils, parents, staff and visitors navigate a busy return to school while keeping important information visible.

Use display boards and noticeboards for timetables, clubs, policies and internal communications, pavement signs for entrances and temporary arrival information, and promotional flags to make welcome points and key areas easier to identify.

For events, inductions and parent-facing activities, printed tablecloths, Foamex printing and lightweight Correx signage can create branded registration points, information desks and temporary wayfinding.

Custom Foamex printing for back to school

Custom Foamex board printing is a strong option for back to school promotions where you want something more distinctive than a standard rectangular sign.

Foamex can be printed in full colour and cut to shape, making it suitable for welcome signs, directional arrows, classroom themed shapes and education promotional graphics. Use it for retail displays, hospitality promotions, event signage, photo points and other seasonal campaign graphics.

Temporary wayfinding

Correx and Foamex signs can help direct pupils and visitors around larger schools, colleges and campuses during timetable changes, events and the first weeks of term.

A close-up shows a classroom setting with a corkboard that has the word "SCIENCE" displayed in large, colorful letters and science-themed decorations. Below the title, hand-drawn diagrams, illustrating topics such as ecology, the water cycle, and engineering design, are pinned to the board, and a chalkboard on a white shelf with mathematical equations.

Build an education display kit that works beyond September

Back-to-school hardware can continue working throughout the academic year rather than being treated as a one-off September purchase.

A reusable setup might include:

Display boards for projects and departmental information
Noticeboards for regular internal communications
Roller banners for receptions and parent-facing events
Flags for entrances and outdoor activities
Printed tables for registration and information points
Foamex and Correx signs for changing routes and room information
Poster frames for events and notices
Pavement signs for temporary external messaging

The same equipment can then support open days, careers fairs, parents' evenings, school productions, sports days, graduation and Freshers' events.
