Royle Printing Celebrates 22 Years of Giving - 2027 Backpack Project
As another school year begins, Royle Printing is proud to continue one of our most meaningful traditions: the 22nd Annual Backpack Project. For more than two decades, this initiative has reflected our commitment to supporting not only our employees, but also the families who make Royle such a special place to work.
Each year, children and grandchildren of Royle employees receive a new backpack filled with encouragement, along with a gift card to help families prepare for the upcoming school year. While the backpacks provide practical support, the heart of the program is the message behind them—that every student deserves to begin the school year feeling prepared, confident, and supported.
Every backpack includes a personal note encouraging students to work hard, be kind, embrace new opportunities, and believe in themselves. It's a simple reminder that they have an entire Royle family cheering them on as they head into a new year of learning and growth.
"For the past 22 years, this backpack program has been one of the most meaningful traditions at Royle Printing," said Chris Carpenter, President & Owner of Royle Printing. "It's a small way for us to invest in the families who make our company what it is. We know the back-to-school season can be both exciting and demanding, and we hope each student starts the year knowing they have an entire Royle family behind them, cheering them on every step of the way."
At Royle, we believe our success is built by people—and those people have families, dreams, and futures that matter. The Backpack Project is one small way we can give back to the employees who give so much to our company every day. Seeing students proudly pick out their backpacks each year has become a tradition our team looks forward to, and one that continues to strengthen the family culture we've built together.
As we celebrate the 22nd year of this program, we're grateful for the opportunity to continue investing in the next generation and helping students begin the school year with confidence.
From everyone at Royle Printing, we wish all students and educators a safe, successful, and inspiring 2026–2027 school year. We're proud to be part of your journey and can't wait to see all you'll accomplish.
