Quadra is committed to providing its customers with the best value range of schoolbags available to meet these diverse end-user requirements.”

By enabling our customers to present schools with a choice of products at various price points we are, once again, maximising the likelihood of them securing the sale.” Quadra offers even more options in book bags. The QD51 Junior Book Bag comes in nine colours (including emerald and yellow – new additions this year), the QD457 Junior Book Bag with Strap adds a detachable adjustable webbing shoulder strap, while the QD456 Classic Book Bag features twin Hi-Viz reflective stripes.
Quadra is now widely regarded as the first stop for high quality, fully featured, decorator-friendly, value for money bags for the schoolwear market. “We are constantly in pursuit of excellence, so that our School Essentials range continues to earn our schoolwear customers valuable add-on business,” Iain Lamb comments.

All Quadra product colours are consistent from order to order and from year to year, and also with the most popular childrenʼs uniform colours. This degree of consistency and coordination is appreciated by the schools, which can only help Quadra customers to win more business,” Iain Lamb comments. Quadra is the only UK promotional bag brand (to its knowledge), to have invested in its own in-house, UK-based colour lab. “Our standards are set by the highest expectations of the most discerning end- users out there,” comments Iain Lamb. Quadraʼs 2011 School Essentials range covers classic school bag styles, such as the QD17 Gymsac, in 11 ʻuniformʼ colours, and the richly featured QD458 Junior Shoesac, in five colours. A choice of designs and price points within each key school bag style is central to Quadraʼs proposition. Iain Lamb comments: “Our entry-level styles deliver quality that other brands might struggle to match, while our feature-rich options satisfy those end-users who demand only
