Branded Items Requests
The IU School of Liberal Arts Marketing and Communications Team maintains branded items to support events, school promotion, and student recruiting and retention. We can also help your unit design and order branded items for your unit, in accordance with your budget.
Branded Event Supplies
Marketing manages and lends branded event supplies to units. These items include backdrops (5’ and 8’), a podium banner, tablecloths (one 6’ and two 8’), and a tent.
Please request suppliesat least one week in advance of your event. Because multiple departments may have events at the same time, requests are fulfilled first come, first served.
- If you are working with Administrative Shared Services to plan your event, your project coordinator can request use of these supplies.
- You also can request these supplies directly by emailing ladsign@iu.edu. Include in your request: your name, your department, the name and purpose of your event, the items you are requesting, the date you will pick up the item(s), and the date you will return the item(s).
Submitting a request does not guarantee availability. You must receive a confirmation email for your request.
Items are expected to be returned in the same condition they were checked out. Otherwise, units may be assessed care or damage fees.

- All IU-branded promotional products must be ordered via a supplier approved to create these products by The Office of Sponsorships, Licensing & Trademarks. View the IU-Branded Promotional Items and Apparel guidelines and vendor list. You can also find out more, including a Sustainable Swag Guide, on the IU Licensing website.
