MyTEGO.com Produces Laptop Skins as a Method of School Branding

Many educational institutes are starting to use skins on student provided laptops as a method of branding, with skins from myTEGO.com.

Many educational institutes around the world provide their students with laptops and other personal electronic devices. Until fairly recently these devices had no representation of the school in which they were provided by. MyTEGO now offers Schools the opportunity to have branded, customized skins made for the student and faculty laptops.


A growing number of colleges and secondary educational institutes are starting to advertise their own identity on the personalized electronics they provide to their students. It is an inexpensive and unique way to create awareness, reduce theft, and generate school spirit. As a means of school branding, skins can display a school emblem or name, and can allow for a linkage between the students and the school they belong to. In addition, thieves are much more hesitant to steal a laptop that has some sort of personal marking then a generic appearance. The skins make it evident that the laptops are school property and therefore may be treated with an increased level of respect. Just as sweaters or other symbolic items are purchased by students on a regular basis to exhibit school spirit and pride, skins on student devices can and do serve a similar function. Schools already invest heavily in these laptop programs; skins are another way to increase their functionality.

 

Tego skins are low-profile, protective, printed adhesive vinyl "stick-ons" that are applied to the surfaces of a gadget, and are becoming mainstream to personalize all types of portable electronics, from cell phones, Blackberries, laptops, calculators, game systems, MP3 players, ipods, satellite radios, etc. Skins cover the majority of the device, with specific cut-outs for screens, buttons, keys, etc., and will have pictures, designs and color patterns printed onto them.

 

MyTEGO is the leading producer and global distributor of custom personal brand products and concepts. They provide the highest level of personalization using a unique creative interface at www.Mytego.com, where users can see their device in real time and make any and all creative adjustments. Tego’s are made with the highest quality materials available and are precision cut to cover the device to help protect it while also offering a personal touch of style.

 

Educational institutions are realizing the benefits of customized branded skins. Tego skins are a new way for schools to brand themselves, as well as gain other additional benefits.
