How school orders work

Built around purchasing departments and hard deadlines.

School orders usually come with a deadline attached—a semester start, an awards night, a commencement date. Tell us the date up front and we will tell you honestly what can make it. Quick Ship models leave within days; custom hardwood with an engraved seal takes weeks, and we put the lead time in writing on the quote.

For the seal itself, send whatever artwork your communications office has. We send a proof showing exactly how it sits on the panel before anything goes to production, so the logo that shows up matches the one in your brand guide.

Purchase orders welcome
We work from district and university POs every week. Request a written quote, route it through purchasing, and send the PO when it clears.
Sound that fills a gym
Built-in sound lecterns with wireless mic options carry a voice across a gymnasium or athletic field without house AV.
Tax-exempt handling
Public schools and universities: send your certificate and we apply it before the invoice goes out.

LCD Digital Display Lectern [K-5 LCD]
Featured for campuses

The K-5 LCD digital display lectern

A presentation lectern that doubles as digital signage: the front panel holds a 40"–55" monitor on a standard VESA mount, looping your seal, event branding, or a live feed. The top takes up to four microphones, and at 54 pounds on a powder-coated aluminum frame it moves between halls without a crew.

“Surpassed our expectations on looks and quality. Made our event so much more professional than using the hotel's podium. Great investment!”
