With most students returning to school this week, they’ll be printing out syllabuses, organizing their binders and hitting the books. But if there’s one thing we learned from our years at the ole school yard, it’s that you can never have too many writing instruments. Thankfully, the variety of promotional writing instruments makes it easy to pair your company’s name with a writing instrument sure to dazzle any student.

Here are our top picks for the upcoming school year.

1. Chalk

For old school blackboard writing, make sure students and teachers are ready for their algebra lessons with a good set of chalk.

2. Dry Erase Markers

For classrooms that have updated to a white board, these dry erase markers can handle any French verb conjugations (J’adore l’école!).

3. Highlighters

When students need to highlight a Shakespeare passage for foreshadowing, they’ll be glad they have these highlighters to light the way.

4. Pens

Everyone knows you can’t make the Dean’s List without a great pen, and these promotional pens write like a dream.

5. Pencils

When it comes to Scantron testing and working on math equations, nothing beats the classic pencil.

6. Markers

For those science presentations and story boards, these markers ensure students can be as creative as they want.
