Present Information for Graduates: Indicators, Banners & Extra Customized Equipment

Last updated on July 9th, 2024 at 02:47 pm

Spring doesn’t just signal changes in the season. For graduating students, it marks what could be their last spring break party and of course, the big day — graduation. And while they may be a little busy with last-minute preparations at school, it’s a good time for their families and friends (aka you) to put together something special for hardworking graduates. We picked out our bestsellers you can customize and get creative with to congratulate your graduates in several ways. Well, 15 ways to be exact.

Tell Them You’re Proud of Them

You’re here because your heart is swelling with pride. Now it’s time to make sure they know that.

1. Yard Signs. If you’re a school administrator or a committee member in charge of the graduation rites and festivities, you can make sure everyone is in the right place by installing yard signs on the way to and at the venue itself. Yard signs can last you a few years so investing in a top-notch sign will save money in the long run, too.
   
2. Banner Signs. You may not get plenty of opportunities to put up banners for your kids and now is your perfect chance. Celebrate their milestone with a fun, customized banner and hang it by the garden if you’re having a small party. Organizing the school dance? Complete the experience for students, parents, and faculty with step and repeat banners and make photo ops more fun!
3. Canvas Prints. A graduation ceremony may only last a few hours, but you can immortalize this meaningful moment with canvas prints. Get display-worthy and premium quality canvas prints that will last a long time whether you’re printing photos of the graduates, a class picture, or a family portrait.
   
4. Stickers. Remind your graduates how good they peel (ha!) with fun stickers! Create something that will last long like vinyl stickers and design something that they stick to their car, laptop, or phones. You can also use customized stickers to wrap gifts or care packages, especially if you’re giving gifts to a group of students.
   
5. Magnets. Attract good vibes and compliments with customized magnets. They’re perfect for souvenirs because you can customize the design and details, plus they don’t take up too much space. You can also design Letter size magnetic sheets as a big notepad they can stick on the fridge for grocery shopping lists.
   

   Expand Their Wardrobe Essentials

   Whether your graduates are off to college or taking a chance at the so-called real world, they’d appreciate quality essentials they can use every day. Curate care packages with these items.

6. T-shirts. Graduation is a busy season for students and sometimes the only way they know they’re out of clothes is when they’re sniffing the hamper for any shirt they can wear again. Gift them with a set of T-shirts and customize them by adding witty one-liners like “If I’m Wearing This It Means I Need to Do the Laundry”.
   
7. Sweatshirts and Jackets. A student’s wardrobe isn’t complete without their favorite sweatshirt or jacket. Add customized hoodies to their outerwear rotation that they can easily slip into when running errands, getting coffee, or going for a run.
   
8. Tote Bags. The reusable tote bag has gone from a mere grocery trip staple to a part of everyday ensemble. They spare you from single-use plastics, they’re easy to carry and maintain, and they’re pretty durable. With a little creativity and a trusted printer, you can customize tote bags that people can’t leave the house without.
   
9. Keychains. They may be tiny but custom keychains make for mighty gifts, especially multifunctional ones like the Leeds No Contact Keychain. This nifty tool helps you open doors without touching germy handles. You can also use it as a bottle opener and a hook for grocery bags when you don’t have time to make multiple trips from the car.
   
10. Phone Cases. Our phones have become an extension of our wardrobe and sometimes that means changing their cases to coordinate our outfits. Get your graduates customized phone cases that can mix and match with their outfits or other accessories. You can have them personalized by adding the school’s insignia, their initials, or an image they identify with, say a pair of baseball mitts if they were part of the team.
    

    Get Them Ready to Work Remotely

    A wise person once said that “Luck favors the prepared.” With how technology has changed the way we worked and went to school in the last decade, it pays to help your graduates get ready for opportunities to work, especially if it requires a lot of moving. Whether they’re switching workplaces between the couch and the dining table, or they’re going for a hybrid arrangement, your graduates will appreciate a customized work-from-home loot bag containing any or all of these items —

11. Mugs and Tumblers. Regardless of your favorite beverage, it’s easier to stay hydrated when you have a reusable tumbler. Treat your graduates to customized tumblers that they can easily stow in their tote bags and refill as needed. You can also personalize vacuum insulated mugs and cups so that they keep their coffee or tea warm whether they’re at home or on the go. You could save them a trip or two to the vending machine and from adding to the plastic clutter.
    
12. Mousepads. We all like the feeling of a crisp touchpad at our fingertips but sometimes it takes a quality mouse to get the job done. Give your graduates a smooth computing experience by customizing high quality mousepads. At UPrinting, we can print mousepads using fade-resistant ink and you can use your custom designs, too!
    
13. Business Cards. Work experiences may not be the same for all graduates, but business cards can boost their credibility when they take on job applications. Gifting a personalized stack of business cards can help prepare your graduates to take on the professional world regardless of the industry they’re in.
    
14. Thank You Cards. Speaking of professionalism, this season is a good time to inspire finesse among graduates. A set of personalized Thank You cards is a good opportunity for them to extend grace and gratitude to people who helped them through college, their professors, or even their friends.
    
15. Notepads. It happens to all of us — that one too many times we had a thought, and we were sure we would remember until we didn’t. Arm your graduates with cute, customized notepads so they’ll remember their million-dollar ideas, to call their parents, or to make sure that the butter they’re getting at the store is salted.
