Custom School Supplies for Back-to-School Drives
Every August, credit unions, dentists, PTAs, churches and local employers fill backpacks for kids heading back to class. This collection gathers the supplies those drives ask for, 32 items starting with a pencil sharpener and a 12 inch ruler at $0.45.
You will find crayons and colored pencils in several pack sizes, chalk, pencil pouches and zippered cases, a translucent two-pocket folder, a pencil box in recycled PET, a 13-piece drawing set and a ready-made essentials kit. Everything is screen printed, so your name is on the item a student opens on the first day.
Fill a Backpack
- Measuring tools: 12 inch rulers in plastic, bamboo and a triangular style, plus a ruler with a built-in magnifier.
- Coloring supplies: six and ten piece crayon sets and colored pencils in 6, 12 and 16 piece packs, some with a sharpener.
- Storage: a recycled pencil pouch, a zippered pencil case, a recycled PET pencil box and a two-pocket folder.
- Desk basics: sharpeners, a sharpener and eraser combo and a four-piece chalk set for sidewalks or classroom boards.
- Kits: a craft supplies set, a 13-piece drawing set and an essentials kit for back to school.
Minimum orders run between 50 and 500 pieces by item, so a single classroom sponsor and a district-wide drive can both order sensibly. With around 12 working days of printing, ordering in July leaves room before classes start. Banks, orthodontists, real estate teams and youth sports leagues use these supplies to show up in a family's routine where it counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
This collection covers most of the classroom basics:
- Pencil sharpeners, erasers and chalk
- Rulers, including 12 inch, bamboo, magnifying and triangular styles
- Crayon and colored pencil sets
- Pencil pouches, zip cases and a recycled PET pencil box
- Folders, craft sets, a 13 piece drawing set and a back-to-school essentials kit
Prices start around $0.45 for a pencil sharpener or a 12 inch ruler. Colored pencil and crayon sets run from about $0.65 to $6.89. Pencil cases fall between $1.45 and $4.65, and the Essentials Kit for Back to School tops the range at about $7.39. Setup varies from $40 to $160.
Minimums run from 50 to 500 pieces, depending on the item you pick. Smaller quantities suit a single classroom, PTA or tutoring center, while the larger ones are aimed at district drives, community giveaways and corporate sponsorships of local schools.
Choose two or three useful items rather than many small ones. A recycled pencil pouch, a 12 inch ruler and a colored pencil set make a solid bundle, or the ready-made essentials kit keeps it simple. Production is about 12 days, so ordering by early July gives time for delivery and packing before school starts.
Every item in this collection is screen printed, usually with a one or two color logo. Screen printing is durable on plastic rulers, wood, paper boxes and fabric pouches, and it keeps the price per piece low for large drives. Keep artwork simple so it reads well on small surfaces like sharpeners.
There are three main choices. The recycled Pencil Pouch is about $1.45, the Pencil Case with a Zip is around $1.95, and the Pencil Box in Recycled PET is about $4.65. Three products in the collection have zippered pockets, and a few are made with recycled or FSC certified materials.
