Better merch
sells for more.
Print-on-demand prints one piece at a time on whatever blank the platform stocks. We print your whole run at once on blanks we pick for you, so the price per piece drops as the run gets bigger.
01
Something they'll keep
Garment-dyed blanks and screenprinted ink feel better than a print-on-demand tee. That’s what lets you charge more for them.
02
Cost falls as the run grows
Print-on-demand charges the same for your first shirt and your five hundredth. We set the screens up once, so every extra piece costs less.
03
Stock you can hand out
You have real boxes of merch. Bring a crate to a live show, give one to a guest, send a few to press. We store the rest and ship it as it sells.

Us vs. print on demand.
Print-on-demand is fine for testing a design. Once people are buying, a real print run gets you a better shirt and a lower price per piece.
Dear MotherA SCREENPRINTED RUN
PRINT-ON-DEMAND
HOW IT'S PRINTED
Screenprinted. Ink is pushed into the fabric through a screen.
Direct-to-garment. A thin layer of ink is sprayed onto the surface.
WASH LIFE
Holds up for hundreds of washes when cured right.
Fades with washing. Often quoted at around 50 washes.
BLANKS
Garment-dyed Comfort Colors and other blanks we pick for your run.
Whatever the platform has in stock.
COLOR
Spot colors mixed to match your brand, the same on every piece.
Printed in CMYK. Color and placement can shift from order to order.
COST PER PIECE
Drops as the run gets bigger. Reorders cost less again.
The same on your first piece and your five hundredth.
STOCK
Real boxes for live shows, guests and press. We store the rest.
Nothing exists until someone orders it.
PACKAGING
Your printed mailers, tissue and thank-you cards.
Generic mailers unless you pay extra.
