About the Educational Supplies Premium template
This educational supplies catalog template is drawn with a teacher's toolkit: pencil and ruler scales edge the pages, and the inner pages borrow classroom formats such as a worksheet for ordering and a report card for testimonials. School-bus yellow and chalkboard green sit on warm paper, with Bree Serif headings, Libre Franklin text and handwritten Kalam notes. Real photos show classrooms, desk globes, watercolor pans and microscopes. Seven covers, from a poster to a 'Hands-on Issue' magazine cover, lead into 20 designed pages.
The sample copy, for a fictional Ohio classroom supplier, addresses district purchasing offices, charter networks and teacher stores: purchase orders, tax-exempt certificates, case packs and an early-order deadline ahead of the first bell. Lines imported from Shopify, WooCommerce or a CSV drop onto product cards with name, a short pack or spec line, SKU and a price on a yellow marker bar. Print the catalog for buying shows, or share a wholesale flipbook whose orders arrive by email and in the app.

Pages worth a closer look
Grade guide and classroom packs
A table sets K–2, 3–5, 6–8 and 9–12 side by side for pencils, paper ruling, scissors, rulers, color and calculators, and a second table scales per-student quantities to classes of 24 and 30. Buyers size orders by grade instead of guessing, and teacher stores stock the right version.
STEM product with a full spec strip
A student microscope gets the hero page: magnification steps, glass optics, a rechargeable LED lamp, metal-geared focus, stage size, case pack and minimum units. Spec-led layouts like this suit any equipment that buyers compare feature by feature.
How-to-order page styled as a worksheet
Steps are written like a class worksheet, complete with name and date lines: pick lines and case packs with the grade guide, email a purchase order or the order form, then get stock, freight and a delivery date confirmed.
Customer quotes as a report card
Feedback is laid out as a report card, with subjects such as fill rate, delivery and customer care, each with a grade and a quote from a district buyer or teacher-store owner. Proof arrives in a format every educator recognizes.
What school and district buyers expect in an education catalog
Make purchase orders easy
Schools and districts rarely pay by card. Say plainly that you accept purchase orders, how to send them, how quickly you confirm, and your payment terms. Ask for the PO number on every order so accounting can match invoices without a phone call.
Organize by subject and grade band
Teachers shop by subject; purchasing offices shop by grade level and budget line. Chapters by subject, with grade bands in each product description, serve both readers, and a one-page grade guide answers the question you hear most often.
Handle tax exemption once
Public schools and many nonprofits are tax-exempt. Explain that you keep exemption certificates on file and apply them to every future order. It removes a recurring hurdle for school bookkeepers and saves your team from issuing corrected invoices.
Time your catalog to budget cycles
Many school districts start their fiscal year in July and spend remaining budgets in spring. Get your catalog to buyers by early spring, run an early-order offer that ships in July, and send a smaller reorder catalog once classes start.
Show durability for shared equipment
Classroom equipment is handled by dozens of students every year. Mention metal parts, rechargeable lighting, protective cases and available spare parts, and state warranty terms. Buyers weigh the cost per year of use, not just the unit price.

Questions about this template
Which pages are included in the educational supplies template?
Seven covers plus 20 designed pages. The ones school buyers lean on are the grade guide, a classroom lookbook, a STEM feature page, report-card testimonials and a numbers page with a monthly shipping chart. The rest cover welcome, contents, divider, brand story, account team, how to order, best sellers, early-order promo, buying-show invitation, FAQ, care and storage, contact, trade terms, notes and a back cover.
Can schools order from this catalog with a purchase order?
Yes, if you accept them. The terms, how-to-order and FAQ pages are written around school purchase orders and tax-exempt accounts, and you can edit them to match your process. Online, a wholesale flipbook with a built-in order form collects orders, which reach you by email and in the app.
What should an educational supply catalog list for each product?
SKU, product name, grade band or age, pack contents, case quantity, unit or pack price and the key specs, such as magnification for a microscope or ruling for paper. Add materials and safety notes where children handle the item. Teachers and buyers compare these details line by line.
When do schools buy classroom supplies?
Large orders cluster in spring and early summer, when districts plan for the new school year and spend what is left of the current budget, with deliveries due before classes start. A second, smaller wave comes in January for the spring semester. Schedule catalogs and early-order offers around both.
