Choose strong, premium materials
We all know how tough classrooms can be on supplies. Books are opened and closed hundreds of times a week, shoved into bags and passed between home and school, and often, it shows. Materials that are too flimsy will wear quickly, leading to problems like fraying edges, ripped covers or fading ink. Fortunately, our products are designed with these challenges in mind.
We pride ourselves on only using premium papers and inks, providing a smooth, effortless writing experience and preventing premature wear and tear. We also favour sturdy, hardwearing covers that protect against daily knocks and bumps.
Look for clever design features
When it comes to finding school supplies that last, even small details can go a long way. Over the years, we’ve seen exactly how lower-quality products fall short in classrooms, and we’ve used that insight to prioritise strength and durability across our range.
Our personalised school exercise books and art books are some of our most popular products, often used by students on a daily basis and needing to endure particularly messy lessons. With that in mind, we offer a variety of premium lamination options, including standard gloss, matte and antibacterial, providing an extra layer of durability and safeguarding supplies against spills and stains. We also offer rounded corners, perfect for busy classrooms. Compared to standard square corners, they’re less likely to bend or become damaged, helping the book stay stronger for longer. They also make it easier for students to grip books and help to prevent paper cuts. These features may seem insignificant, but they make a huge difference in how long a resource can be used, ensuring that students and teachers get the most from every item.
Use personalisation to encourage students to look after their supplies
Durability is about more than strong covers and quality paper. A well-thought-out book design plays a huge part in how often it’s used and how long it lasts. Knowing exactly where to record homework, reflect on reading, or revisit previous work helps children build confidence and independence, making these resources reusable rather than something that’s quickly set aside.
Personalisation also plays a part in this. When you choose one of our customised products, adding details like your school name, badge or motto, as well as the student’s name, makes a big difference. When pupils feel a resource is truly theirs, they naturally treat it with more care and return to it more often. This creates a sense of ownership and belonging that helps them take pride in their work and stay motivated to use their books and planners throughout the year. Over time, this personal connection turns these materials into trusted tools in your classroom toolkit, not just stationery that gets forgotten at the bottom of a bag.
