A merch lineup that fits your next release
01 / FIRST RUN
Start with a clear favorite
Build around one shirt style, one garment color and one strong graphic. It keeps your size list and print plan easier to manage. Use past sales or preorder interest to guide quantities instead of guessing what every fan will buy.
02 / TOUR MERCH
Make the dates count
Pair a front graphic with a back design for tour dates, cities or venues. Proof every line before approval. Let us know the first show date, when you leave and where the order needs to arrive.
03 / ALBUM DROP
Give the artwork room
Compare a soft tee with a heavyweight option, then consider a hoodie or long sleeve. Send album artwork at its intended print size so we can review fine lines, gradients and small lettering.
Screen printing or DTF for band merch?
The artwork, shirt and quantity should guide the method. Send the same garment and design details when comparing quotes so you can compare finished merchandise.
Screen printing for a repeated design
A shared band logo or bold graphic is a natural starting point for screen printing. Ink colors, print locations and total quantity affect setup and pricing. Our published screen-printing minimum is 12 pieces.
DTF for detailed color artwork
DTF uses a printed transfer applied with heat to compatible apparel. Ask us to review detailed illustrations, gradients or smaller runs. Request a quote for finished garments, including transfer application, and confirm the order requirements.
Keep your merch budget tied to the full order
Tell us your target budget, preferred garment and planned quantity. A single-color front print and a multicolor front-and-back design need different setups. Special inks, extra placements and larger sizes can also change the quote.
If you are deciding between quantities, ask us to price the same design at each quantity. Compare the complete decorated cost before setting a selling price, and allow for your own selling fees, shipping supplies and any venue charges.
Keep a separate count for every garment style, color and size.

Custom band merch printing FAQs
What is the minimum order for custom band shirts?
Our published screen-printing minimum is 12 pieces. For DTF or a mixed-apparel order, send the garment and design details so we can confirm the requirements. A no-minimum transfer product does not automatically mean no minimum for finished printed shirts.
Can I mix shirt sizes, colors and styles?
Our FAQ allows mixed sizes and shirt colors for screen printing when the artwork and ink colors stay the same. Confirm mixed styles, design dimensions and any larger-size charges. Keep tees, long sleeves and hoodies on separate lines in your quantity list.
Can you print album artwork and tour dates?
Send the original artwork, intended print dimensions and preferred placements. We will review detail and garment compatibility. Check every date, city and name before approval, and use artwork you have permission to reproduce.
How much does band merch printing cost?
The garment, quantity, sizes, ink colors and print locations affect pricing. Specialty finishes can also change the total. Configure a product or request a quote for the complete finished order; blank-garment prices exclude decoration, and tax or shipping may be additional.
Can you meet our next show or tour deadline?
Include the required in-hand date and your departure date before ordering. Garment availability, artwork readiness and production capacity all matter. Rush work is available only after our team confirms the schedule; shipping transit is separate from production.
Can we reorder merch after selling out?
Send the previous order details, original artwork and a new size list. We will confirm current garment stock, pricing and timing. Flag any changed tour dates or print placements so the new version is reviewed.
Do you print hoodies, long sleeves and hats?
The featured hoodie and long-sleeve listings offer customization options. Check their available print locations before ordering. For a stitched band logo on a suitable hat, ask about embroidery and artwork preparation.
Where do we pick up, and can you ship?
Our physical shop is at 701 N Maclay Ave, San Fernando, CA 91340. Arrange pickup after the order is confirmed ready. For shipping, send the delivery address and required arrival date so we can confirm options, cost and timing.
