Do You Supply Blank Shirts for Festivals?

Yes, both ways — we source the blanks, or we press onto tees you already have.

Most festivals have us handle blanks end to end, and a few bring their own run of festival tees for us to press. Either works.

When we source them

We buy at volume so you get retail-quality shirts without the retail markup. Our two workhorses: Bella+Canvas 3001 when you want a soft, fitted, sell-it-anywhere tee, and Gildan 5000 when the crowd count is high and the budget needs to stretch. We build the size curve — including youth sizes for family festivals — from your expected turnout.

When you bring your own

Already ordered festival shirts? We press directly onto them. Send us the brand and blank color ahead of time so we can confirm the transfer and heat settings play nicely with that fabric — tri-blends and performance fabrics press differently than cotton.

Color and stock planning

We recommend two or three shirt colors max at a festival. It keeps the menu readable, the line fast, and your leftover count near zero. Because we press to order, you're not stuck with 400 unsold shirts the way a pre-order run leaves you.

Tell us your expected crowd and we'll propose a blank order and size curve.
