Believe it or not, Back to School 2026 is already firmly on the launchpad here at DNC — and we think this year’s licensed line-up is one of our strongest yet!
Headlining the range will be Polar Gear Toy Story 5, landing in retail just as families return from the summer holidays still talking about the film.
Joining it are refreshed collections for Stitch, Frozen, Peppa Pig & Paw Patrol, our brand-new Hello Kitty & Friends range, and not forgetting our fantastic Polar Gear design favourites.
Each collection is built around our core lunch-to-go essentials — insulated lunch bags, snack pots, reusable food containers and drinks bottles — engineered for the realities of school life: spill-proof lids, easy-clean liners, and durable, family-friendly designs that earn their keep through the whole school year.
Sustainability remains front and centre. Every product is designed to be reused day after day, replacing single-use plastic and disposable food wrap, and our packaging programme continues to focus on reducing plastic use and improving recyclability.
We’ll be presenting the full Back to School 2026 line-up at Exclusively Housewares on 9th and 10th June. To request a preview, sample pack, or to book a meeting on the stand, get in touch with the team at salesadmin@dnc-uk.com
