At 2 Friends Printing in Lenexa, we create school sports banners, signs for cheerleaders, and graduation and team yard signs. We also provide branded items that school clubs, teams and parent-teacher associations (PTAs) can sell as fundraisers.
We welcome projects from school communities in the Shawnee Mission School District, Blue Valley School District, Olathe Public Schools, Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools (KCKS/KCKPS), and Kansas City Public Schools in Missouri (KCMO/KCPS).
Whether you're a coach planning for the season or a PTA volunteer organizing a fundraiser, a few early decisions can make your print project easier to coordinate.
Start with where your school banner will go
A sports banner can welcome fans, celebrate a team or recognize seniors at their final home game. Before choosing a size, think about where it will hang and how far away people will be when they read it.
A banner viewed from the stands needs a clear message and large lettering. A senior recognition banner seen up close may have room for an athlete's photo, name and number. Share the display location, approximate dimensions and whether it will be indoors or outdoors when you request a quote.
For Shawnee Mission, Blue Valley and Olathe teams preparing for the season, gathering names and artwork early helps keep the details organized. The same planning applies to school banner projects in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.
Keep cheerleading signs bold and easy to read
Game-day cheer signs help a squad bring the crowd into a chant. Short phrases, strong contrast and simple lettering make the message easier to follow across a gym or field.
For custom cheerleading signs, tell us how they'll be held, will they be flipped to display a different side, how often they'll be used and whether several signs need to work together. A quick sketch or reference photo can help explain your idea. Include the number of signs and your first game or pep-rally date so we can discuss a practical plan.
Coordinate graduation yard signs and team posters
Graduation yard signs give families a way to celebrate a milestone at home. Team yard signs let supporters show their colors throughout the season. A coordinated group order can give each student a personal sign while keeping the overall design consistent.
Choose one person to gather names, jersey numbers, graduation years and other individual details. Keep them in a single list, and double-check spelling before approving the final information.
If you're also planning team posters or senior recognition displays, send us your ideas and available photos. Tell us where the pieces will be displayed so we can discuss size and printing options for your event.
Plan school PTA fundraisers around your audience
School PTAs, booster groups, clubs and sports teams can use branded merchandise to give supporters something they enjoy while raising money for their organization.
Start by asking who will buy the items: students, parents, alumni or fans. Then narrow the product choices around that audience and your budget. A focused selection can make an order easier to explain, collect and distribute.
Before announcing a sale, ask us about product availability, minimum quantities, artwork needs and production timing. Once you have a quote, your group can compare the total costs with its planned selling price and estimate potential proceeds.
What to include in your school printing request
You don't need every detail figured out before contacting us. These basics give us a useful starting point:
- Your school and organization: include the team, club, PTA or booster group name.
- The products and quantities: banners, cheer signs, yard signs, posters or fundraising items.
- Your event or sale date: include when you need the finished pieces in hand.
- Your artwork: send available designs, wording, photos and school colors.
- Your budget: for fundraisers, also share your intended audience and target selling price.
