Printing Solutions that Pass the Test: Overcoming Print and Marketing Challenges in K-12 Schools

Despite the rise of digital learning, printed materials remain a critical component of K-12 education. A recent educator survey revealed that 90% of schools still heavily rely on printed resources to support their daily operations.¹

And for years, in-house print shops served as the backbone of many K-12 schools' printing needs. They produced everything from essential classroom materials to community announcements.

However, with widespread closures of internal print shops (only 37% of school districts now have a print shop at each school¹), educators and administrators have been left scrambling to find reliable, cost-effective printing solutions.

At Staples Business, we understand the unique challenges K-12 schools face in maintaining access to high-quality printed materials. Our commitment to providing tailored solutions ensures that your school can focus on what truly matters — educating and inspiring the next generation.

Why Printed Materials Are Indispensable

• Enriching Classroom Experiences
  Printed workbooks, handouts and lesson plans allow students to engage without the distractions of digital screens. These tools also support various learning styles, particularly for visual and tactile learners.
• Fostering Communication with the Community
  Print isn't limited to the classroom. Flyers, newsletters and posters are essential for keeping parents and the wider community informed about school events, fundraisers and policy updates.
High-quality printed resources strengthen the connection between educators, students and the community — all while contributing to better learning outcomes.
