Quality is the reason why PenCarrie stocks everyday schoolwear styles from leading manufacturers such as Fruit of the Loom and Jerzees Schoolgear. A wide choice of sports teamwear for children is also available from top brands including Kustom Kit Gamegear®, Finden & Hales and Tombo Teamwear.

"Year-round availability of styles is also crucial and PenCarrie's policy of maintaining high levels of stock at all times, across all styles, sizes and colours, is another reason why our customers can sell to schools with confidence," says Andrea Charteris. "Continuity of styles year-on-year and consistency of colour are also important considerations for schools and the brands we stock understand this." Having outlined the essentials, Andrea also remarks, "From time to time schools want to update their image. They like to see new styles that give a fresh twist to schoolwear favourites such as polos and sweats as well as outerwear. Schools also welcome new thinking with regard to sports kit and are often keen to adopt new styles where latest developments in fabric technology can assist player performance."

Tombo Teamwear, Kustom Kit Gamegear® and Finden & Hales all provide co-ordinated sportswear for school children, with matching styles for older students and adults also available. "School activewear is a win-win situation for decorators, schools and students," says Andrea Charteris. "It provides a source of additional revenue for decorators; gives the school a great image; and makes students feel part of something good," she explains. One of the new styles available for 2009 is Tombo Teamwear's TL70B Kids Long Sleeve Cold Base Layer. Like the adults' TL70, it is made from a special moisture management material and is designed to be worn next to the skin to keep the body warm during exercise. Often worn under a short-sleeved sports shirt, the printing of the school/team name is usually positioned on the lower arm.

Book bags; high visibility wear; and t-shirts and caps for extra curricular activities can all provide valuable add-on sales when dealing with schools. PenCarrie's full range of schoolwear and accessories, together with up-to-the-minute stock availability, can be viewed online at www.pencarrie.com. The website also offers the facility to create e-brochures which, as Andrea Charteris comments, "are a simple, swift and cost-effective way to make an impact when selling to a school."
