Merchandise for your next tour or release
Embroidered and woven patches
Embroidered patches give a logo a raised, textured finish. Woven patches have a flatter surface and use finer threads, making them a good option for intricate illustrations and small lettering. Choose the backing and border to suit how fans will use the patch, including sew-on, iron-on, Velcro or adhesive options.
Custom enamel pins
Soft enamel pins have recessed color areas and raised metal lines. Hard enamel pins are polished to a smooth surface. We review the design, size and finish before recommending a construction.
Hats and beanies
Custom cut-and-sew hats are built to your specifications, including fabric, colorway and construction. You review a digital mockup followed by a physical pre-production sample before bulk production. Decorated blank hats are also available, with minimums and timing confirmed in your quote.
Custom knitted socks
The artwork is knitted into the socks. Use a band logo, album motif or repeating pattern to make a wearable addition to a release bundle. Send a reference for the style you have in mind so we can review construction and artwork together.
Shirts and hoodies
Screen printed T-shirts and hoodies give the merch table a core apparel offering. We use selected blanks such as AS Colour, Comfort Colors and Bella+Canvas, with printing options reviewed for your design. Full-color artwork can also be considered for DTF printing.
Stickers and keychains
Stickers and rubber, metal or leather keychains give fans smaller items to choose from. They can also be included in preorder packages or paired with a shirt, patch or pin. Minimums vary by product and design.
Band merch programs we can help build
Tour merchandise
Plan the product mix around your dates, audience and available table space. A shirt or hat can anchor the range, with patches, pins and stickers giving fans different ways to buy. Tell us whether the order goes to you, a venue or a fulfillment company.
Album and release bundles
Pair a record or release with coordinated merchandise. Pins, patches, stickers and printed inserts can be planned as one set, with packaging and kitting quoted for the project. The Band Merch Kits page shows how products can work together.
Fan clubs and crowdfunding rewards
Create different product combinations for membership levels or campaign rewards. Send the quantities for each tier so we can quote the individual products and any assembly separately. A small audience does not automatically mean every item needs the same quantity.
Preorders and collaborations
Use a specific design for a preorder, artist collaboration or limited release. Confirm the product minimum before announcing the offer, and leave time for artwork review, sampling where needed, production and delivery.
How ordering works
Send your artwork or idea, products, quantities, delivery address and in-hand date. We typically respond within one business day. A response may include questions needed to finish the quote, especially when several products or delivery locations are involved.
Vector AI or PDF artwork is preferred. Other file types can be reviewed, and we will let you know if artwork assistance is needed. A free digital mockup lets you review placement, size and colors before production. Custom cut-and-sew hats also require approval of a physical pre-production sample.
We confirm the order details and schedule before the project moves forward. Packaging, backer cards, inserts and kitting are available options and are included in the quote when requested. Orders can ship within the United States or internationally.
Production and delivery timing
Most products take approximately 2 to 3 weeks to produce. Custom cut-and-sew hats require approximately 2 to 3 weeks for sampling, followed by 3 to 4 weeks of production after physical sample approval, plus approximately 7 to 8 days for shipping, including international shipping.
These are planning estimates. Shipping is additional to production unless specifically included in the schedule. The complete timeline is confirmed with your quote. If a tour or release date is fixed, send it at the start. Expedited production is available on request only after feasibility is confirmed.
Minimums and project pricing
Minimums start at 25 pieces on select products. Requirements apply by product and design, so a 25-piece option for one item does not establish the minimum for the rest of the kit. The best per-unit value is typically at 100 pieces and above.
Your quote reflects the product mix, quantities, artwork, packaging and delivery requirements. High-volume orders are reviewed individually. If you are deciding between a small test run and a larger release, send both quantities for comparison.
Band merch questions
Do you work with unsigned or self-managed bands?
Yes. Send the products you are considering, approximate quantities and the date. We can review an initial idea as well as finished artwork.
Should a detailed logo be a patch or a pin?
It depends on the size and artwork. Woven patches generally hold finer detail than embroidered patches. A pin offers a metal finish and a different feel. We review the design before recommending an option.
Can you package products for an album release?
Yes. Packaging and kitting can be included in the project. Tell us what goes in each set, how many sets you need and where they will ship.
Can the order ship to our merch company or a venue?
Yes. Include the complete delivery information and any receiving deadline with the request so we can plan the shipment.
How far ahead of a tour should we order?
Start with the longest-lead item. From-scratch hats need sampling and production before shipping. Send the in-hand date before announcing availability so we can confirm a workable schedule.
