Regional and metropolitan schools are overcoming merchandise and signage challenges by sourcing solutions that deliver high-quality, transportable materials despite distance or tight schedules.
Schools often struggle to source high-quality signage and event materials when location, delivery costs, or tight timelines pose obstacles. Harvey Primary, a small school of 250 students inland from Bunbury, Western Australia, and Haberfield Public School, a metropolitan school of 500 students in New South Wales, recently faced these challenges.
At Harvey Primary, distance had previously limited options for updating classroom signs, school banners, and outdoor marquees.
“We find it really difficult for companies to supply to us without delivery costs being through the roof,” school officer Ms Krystel Brown says.
Ms Brown says the school needed banners for interschool competitions, a marching banner, and five new marquees for sporting events.
The solution came through Edusign. With printing facilities in Melbourne and Sydney, Edusign design and manufacture a range of merchandise and signage products tailored for schools – and deliver Australia wide.
By consolidating orders through one supplier, Harvey Primary could ensure visual consistency across all items, with a fast turnaround and no hidden logistical issues. “They came in very fast… as soon as we made payment, they were delivered within a couple of weeks,” Ms Brown says.
In New South Wales, Haberfield Public School encountered similar challenges. Deputy Principal Ms Katie Martin explained that timely access to professional, transportable materials was critical for school events and promotions.
“The quote and proofs were sent the same day, and once we made the order, the product was on our doorstep in less than two weeks. One item we needed urgently was expedited with no inconvenience,” she says.
Haberfield Public School’s order included branded marquees, a pull-up banner for school tours, parade banners, and teardrop flags. Ms Martin highlighted their portability and ease of use: “All of the products have their own storage and carry bags. They’re compact and can be easily transported to different venues within the school or beyond.”
For both schools, working with a single, responsive supplier allowed them to overcome logistical challenges – from regional delivery constraints to metro storage and setup –while maintaining professional, cohesive branding across classrooms, sporting events, and community activities.
By leveraging Edusign’s national design and manufacturing capabilities, schools can access high-quality, transportable, and visually consistent signage and event materials no matter where they are located.
Ms Brown summed up the impact of the solution at Harvey Primary:
“Everything arrived quickly, matched perfectly, and was easy to set up – no matter how far we are from the city.”
