Printing for Education and Childcare
Childcare graphics need to handle constant contact at child height, where walls and displays are touched throughout the day. Schools have a broader mix of signage, from indoor displays to outdoor banners and fence signage that need to withstand weather throughout a term.
What education & childcare order most
Wall Graphics & Decals
Room graphics, alphabet walls and play-area scenes printed to the wall dimensions you supply. In childcare spaces, graphics often sit within reach of children, so the material and finish need to withstand regular touching and cleaning.
Custom Vinyl Banners
Enrolment, open day and term banners for fences and grounds. Hemmed and eyeletted for straightforward fixing, they can be removed and replaced as campaigns change.
Corrugated Plastic (AKA Corflute Signs)
Affordable ground signs, directional boards and site notices for fetes, open days, drop-off areas and school grounds. Easy to reprint when wording or event details change.
Graphics at child height take constant contact
A childcare wall graphic is a high-contact surface, not just decoration. It gets touched, leaned against and cleaned every day, so a protective laminate is worth specifying from the start.
The wall also needs to be suitable for application. Fresh paint can continue curing and cause graphics to lift, while textured or chalky surfaces may prevent proper adhesion. PALS prints and ships the graphics; measuring and installation are handled by you or your chosen applicator.
Questions we get asked
Will a wall graphic damage the paint when it comes off?
On sound, fully cured paint, a quality wall graphic should normally remove cleanly. Fresh, thin or flaking paint is different the graphic may lift the paint with it. Let new paint cure fully before installation and test a small area first.
Can an enrolment banner be reused for the next intake?
Yes, provided the artwork is not tied to a specific year or date. Remove it between intakes, let it dry completely, then roll it printed side out around a tube rather than folding it. Folding can permanently crease the PVC and damage the print.
