Diaries, PE kits, gate signage and desk tagging from one Nairobi supplier — how schools cut four vendors down to one and keep every badge matching.
Every January and September, school administrators in Kenya run the same exhausting relay: a printer for diaries and report books, a garment shop for PE kits, a signage maker for the gate board, and somebody — anybody — to mark the new desks before they migrate. Colorshade Graphics was built to end that runaround: five production departments under one roof at Printers Center, Kirinyaga Road, and a mobile laser unit that comes to your school.
Print: the paper backbone of a school year
School diaries, exam and assessment books, report books, receipt books for the bursar's office, letterheads, certificates and event programmes — printed in-house, with bulk tiers published up front so budgeting is arithmetic, not negotiation. Because every department shares one floor, your diary covers, uniforms and signage can carry exactly the same badge and colours.
Garments: uniforms and games kits that match
Branded PE and games kits, staff polos, aprons and caps — printed or embroidered with the school badge. One walk-in covers the sports department and the staffroom, single pieces welcome (a new teacher mid-term does not need a minimum order).
Signage: the school gate is your first impression
3D reception and gate signs, directional boards for parents' days, wall murals for kindergarten blocks, and banners for open days — designed, produced and installed by the same team that printed your diaries, so nothing clashes.
Asset tagging: the quiet money-saver
Desks, lockers, lab equipment, tablets, sports gear — permanently laser-marked with the school name and an optional serial number that matches your asset register. Our #MaasaiOnBoard mobile unit deploys to your school anywhere in Kenya (travel is free within Nairobi), and marks equipment where it stands. Stickers peel by half term; engraving graduates with the building. Read the full guide: asset tagging in Kenya.
Why one supplier beats four
- One quote, one delivery, one accountable contact — instead of four vendors pointing at each other when the term starts.
- Consistent branding — the badge on the diary matches the kit, the gate and the assembly-hall banner.
- Transparent published prices — for bulk and single orders alike, so procurement paperwork is painless.
- Countrywide reach — finished orders ship by courier, and the laser unit travels to any county.
