& SUPPORT LOCAL SCHOOLS
Join hundreds of local businesses making a difference in American schools by sponsoring custom merchandise for athletic programs and student-led initiatives. Through branded T-shirts, posters, pocket calendars, and hang tags, your sponsorship directly supports students while giving your business long-lasting, meaningful visibility.
This is truly a win-win: When you sponsor school merchandise, you’re not just advertising — you’re investing in the next generation and showing your commitment to the community. Your support helps schools provide quality gear for students while showcasing your brand in front of hundreds of local families, staff, and event attendees.
Your logo will be seen time and time again — at games, in classrooms, around town, and in homes — reinforcing your presence and reputation as a business that gives back.
Contact The Print Plug today to take advantage of affordable, high-impact local advertising — and make a real difference in your community.
Choose the type of item you’d like to sponsor — shirts, posters, pocket calendars, or hang tags — and select the size and format that best fits your marketing goals and budget.
We’ll collect your logo, contact details, and any special messaging (like a coupon or website) you’d like included. From there, you will receive a mock-up of the final placement to approve.
Your brand gets seen by students, parents, teachers, and the broader community — not just once, but every time the merchandise is worn, used, or displayed. We handle all the heavy lifting!
The Print Plug has hundreds of 5 star reviews online, and is the proud recipient of World’s Greatest on The Bloomberg Network. But don’t take our word for it! Check out what our awesome customers have to say about our service!
Your sponsorship goes beyond just a logo — it becomes part of the everyday lives of students, families, and educators. Whether it’s a shirt worn year-round, a calendar hung on the fridge, or a poster displayed in a high-traffic space, your business gets consistent, meaningful exposure in the community.
Your logo is printed on the back or sleeve of custom-designed T-shirts worn by students and staff throughout the year — making thousands of local impressions.
Event or schedule posters go up in schools, gyms, offices, and local businesses — putting your brand front and center in the places families go.
A useful item families and teachers keep on hand — with your business printed clearly and cleanly in a long-lasting, visible space throughout the school year.
Displayed at school entrances, sporting events, and community functions, banners offer bold, high-visibility exposure throughout the season.
Choose the ad size and placement that works best for your business — whether you want to make a bold impact with a premium banner, bundle your shirt ad with a hang tag for added reach, or keep it simple with a cost-effective block or sleeve ad.
Get your brand seen by hundreds of eyes throughout the year, and show your support for local schools by purchasing spots on team uniforms and apparel. Total available advertising space limited to 13×18 inches on the back of the t-shirt, plus 4×4 inch sleeve placements.
