Students set the pace of printing in Potchefstroom. The university's large campus means residence shirts, society banners, rag and orientation week printing, theses and posters for conferences, all arriving in waves around the academic calendar. The town also has many well known schools with a strong sport culture, an army base, agricultural research and a large farming hinterland, so print shops serve a wide spread of clients. Ikageng, Promosa and Mohadin add funerals, churches and soccer clubs. Print shops and copy centres sit near the campus and in the CBD, with sign makers, screen printers and embroiderers in the industrial area. Johannesburg is close enough for overnight couriers.
