Signs & Large Format Print
Illustrative visualisationA learning centre sells parents trust. A parent signs a child up for maths before the end-of-school exams or for an exam-prep course and wants to know they are paying for a thought-through programme, not an hour in a rented room. So anything that shows order works well: a clear sign, classrooms that look like places to learn, and your own branded material instead of bundles of photocopies.
The calendar is predictable. The main intake is August and September, a second wave comes after mid-year reports, and summer courses are announced in May. Your own course packs and question books are best printed for one term or one year – exam requirements and your programme change, and a stockroom of old workbooks is money thrown away. For short runs digital print pays off, for larger ones offset; where the line falls is explained in our guide [digital or offset printing](/poradnik/druk-cyfrowy-czy-offsetowy).
1. Premises and window
Tutoring centres often take over a former shop or office with a big window onto the street. That is a free noticeboard that plenty of parents walk past every day. A list of subjects and levels (primary, end-of-school exams, university entrance) says more than the centre’s name alone.
- Sign above the entrance→3 mm aluminium composite panel (Dibond) with UV print, approx. €35–55 net per m². Name, a line about your subjects and phone number.
- Window listing your subjects→Printed vinyl approx. €6–12 net per m², or cut vinyl lettering (approx. €1.40 net per metre of cutting line). A new subject can be added without redoing the whole window.
- Banner on the building during enrolment→A 3 × 1 m laminated banner is approx. €35 net (3 m² × approx. €11). Enough for the sign-up season.
2. Enrolment and open days
Leave posters and leaflets where parents wait: GP surgeries, after-school clubs, stationery shops, libraries. For open days and education fairs, a roll-up banner shows what you offer in a few seconds.
- Enrolment posters→A2, 100 posters approx. €85 net. A large heading with the subject and level, and less text.
- Leaflets and folded brochures→A5 brochure folded in half, 1,000 pcs approx. €90 net. Inside: subjects, groups, prices and how to sign up.
- Roll-up banner for open days and education fairs→85 × 200 cm with graphic and bag from approx. €55 net. Fits in a car boot and goes up in a minute.
3. Classrooms
A bare classroom wall is wasted space. Maths formulas, a map, a timeline, the most common spelling mistakes – a graphic that teaches something makes a better impression on a parent than colourful wallpaper.
- Educational wall graphics→Air-release vinyl, approx. €11–19 net per m²; it goes on without bubbles and comes off when you change the decor.
- Classroom door signs→Room name or subject. 3 mm printed foam PVC at approx. €21–33 net per m² is perfectly adequate indoors.
4. Material for students
A branded course pack shows a parent that the centre has a real programme. Add a folder for tests and notes, a notebook and a bookmark – things a student carries to school every day and shows to friends. We print material you hold the rights to: your own notes and exercises. For extracts from textbooks, check the publisher’s licence.
- Course packs and workbooks→Saddle-stitched A5 booklet, 16 pages, 500 copies approx. €240 net. Smaller runs and other page counts are priced once you send the file.
- Branded notebooks→Glued A5 notepad with cover, 50 sheets, 100 pcs approx. €135 net. One for every new student at the start of the year.
- Student folders→A4, 350 gsm board with matt lamination, 100 folders approx. €135 net. For the timetable, terms and completed exercises.
- Bookmarks for textbooks→Double-sided magnetic bookmarks, 100 pcs approx. €160 net. They grip the page and stay in the textbook all year.
- Branded pens→For 500 pens, well under €0.35 net each. Handed out at open days and when students sign up.
5. End of the course
Parents keep a certificate of completion, and good results from former students are the strongest argument at the next intake. Publish names and results only with the consent of students or parents – ideally in writing.
- Certificates with names→Printed from your list, each with a different name and course title. Paper and quantity chosen to suit the occasion, quoted individually.
- Poster with former students’ results→For the window or waiting area. 10 A2 posters approx. €28 net.

From our experience — what to watch out for
- Order enrolment material in July. In the last week of August every school and centre prints at once, and a poster that goes up after term starts only catches the latecomers.
- Print course packs for a term or a year, not three years’ stock. Programmes and exam requirements change.
- Leave a wide margin for notes in workbooks and choose matt paper – pen smudges on gloss.
- List the levels in the window: primary, GCSE-level, school-leaving exams. Parents look for something specific, not a general “maths tutoring”.
- Put the names for certificates in a spreadsheet and check them with the teachers. A typo in a name is the most common reason for a reprint.
