At Printlux, we know that strong branding isn't just for businesses. Schools have their own traditions, identities and communities that deserve to be celebrated too.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Wrekin Prep to create a bespoke set of House Cricket wickets, helping bring an extra sense of pride and professionalism to their annual House Cricket competition.
The Brief
Wrekin Prep wanted something unique.
Instead of using standard off-the-shelf cricket equipment, they wanted custom wickets that reflected the school's branding whilst creating a memorable experience for pupils representing their houses throughout the cricket season.
The aim was simple: create equipment that pupils would be proud to play with year after year.
Our Solution
Working closely with the school, we produced a bespoke set of cricket wickets finished in Wrekin Prep's signature burgundy vinyl.
Each wicket was precision wrapped to deliver a clean, professional finish whilst remaining durable enough for regular outdoor use throughout the season.
The result was a subtle but striking addition that instantly strengthened the visual identity of the competition.
Why It Matters
School sport is about far more than winning.
It's about teamwork, confidence, resilience and creating memories that pupils carry with them long after they leave school.
Thoughtfully branded equipment helps reinforce those traditions whilst creating a more professional environment that pupils, staff and parents can all be proud of.
Sometimes it's the smallest details that make the biggest difference.
Bespoke Branding for Schools
Alongside sports equipment, Printlux works with schools across the UK to produce:
• School signage
• Sports branding
• Display boards
• Reception graphics
• Awards and trophies
• Event branding
• Exhibition displays
• Wall graphics
• Wayfinding signage
• Educational displays
• Open day materials
• Graduation and leavers' products
Everything is designed and manufactured in-house from our Shropshire studio using commercial-grade print technology.
Looking Ahead
It was fantastic to help bring this project to life for Wrekin Prep, and we look forward to seeing these bespoke wickets become part of the school's annual House Cricket tradition for years to come.
If you're looking to create memorable branded products for your school, college or educational setting, we'd love to help.
