Private and preparatory schools use retractable hand banners as recruitment and retention tools which are mailed to prospective students, handed out at admission events, or given to enrolled students as a welcome gift at orientation.

The format is practical for school budgets. Banners are low cost per unit, arrive rolled up in a standard envelope, and carry a large imprint area relative to their size. A student who receives one before school starts already has a physical connection to the institution.

Common designs include the school name and crest on one side and the school motto or athletic slogan on the other. Two-sided printing uses the same banner for two different audiences - the student sees one message, the person in front of them at a game sees the other.

Minimum order is 100 banners. Artwork design is free. All printed orders ship free to one US location. Submit a Banner Quote Form at retractablehandbanners.com or call 800-884-8095.
