YAPO UK

YAPO UK: yearbooks, leavers' hoodies and branded clothing from one team

YAPO is an independent British business, trading as Yearbooks and Printing Online Limited, that has worked with schools, businesses, clubs, charities and community organisations since 2009. Its activity is organised around three areas: education products, corporate clothing and official merchandise. The company describes itself as combining professional production with personal service, and states that it handles decoration in-house rather than outsourcing it.

Education: yearbooks, hoodies and school clothing

Schools are presented as the core of the business. The education line covers leavers' yearbooks, leavers' hoodies, trip apparel and school clothing. Yearbooks are produced around each school, with support described as running from planning and design through to print, and the company states that every submitted yearbook page is personally checked. Personal school visits are offered, and weekday support is available until 9pm.

Leavers' hoodies are made with the school logo, a Class of 2027 design and pupils' names, and the site lists separate sections for hoodie designs, colours and pricing. The 2027 leavers' collection is presented as the current focus for final-year groups, alongside the yearbook offer.

Corporate clothing and official merchandise

For businesses and teams, YAPO supplies corporate clothing and branded workwear decorated with professional embroidery and DTF printing. For clubs, charities, community groups, events and organisations, it produces official merchandise that the site describes as ranging from clothing and headwear to bags and accessories. The company also frames bespoke work as part of the service, inviting customers to bring ideas that fall outside a standard catalogue.

How the work is produced

Decoration is carried out in-house, which the company presents as giving greater control over the finished result. Embroidery is named as a specific capability for branding businesses, clubs and organisations, and DTF printing is cited for corporate clothing. Personalisation is treated as a distinct part of each project: names, designs and finishing touches are adapted to the individual order.

Examples of completed projects

The site lists a small selection of work rather than a full portfolio. In yearbooks, it names Guildford County School, Pelham Primary School, Homelands Primary School and Liphook Junior School. Other examples include bespoke robes for Lofthouse Robes, hoodies made for Surprise Lapland, corporate headwear and embroidered sponsor inserts.

Scale, delivery and community links

YAPO describes itself as big enough to deliver but small enough to avoid passing schools around a large call centre, and reports long-standing relationships with schools across the UK. Free UK delivery is offered across its core product ranges, and delivery is described as nationwide. The company also states that it works in collaboration with SiGNAL BiZHUB, a local business hub, and presents support for schools, youth organisations, charities, clubs and community events as part of its activity.
