Where would you guys recommend making/ordering quality band merch (pins, shirts, stickers, guitar straps, etc.)?


Need good quality, service, and price. Thanks in advance.

my band makes our own patches, we used black Cotton Duck Canvas and white fabric paint. wash the cavas before you use it and make a stencil out of thick paper or thin plastic cutting it out with an exacto knife. use a spounge/roller to put on the paint and wait like 3 days before selling just to make sure (incase they wash it). it looks really good and is super cheap, plus you get DIY points. you can do the same on a larger scale with t-shirts and pretty much anything else that has fabric and a design on it.... thats all i got. if you are looking for super professional stuff, then sorry.

You can make your own shirts, posters and stickers with a canon pixma5200 and some iron on transfers. They'll be more than good enough, but if you do that you'll want to find a t-shirt company to buy wholesale from.

It'd be awkward to make it with more colours though unless they had a large screen printing machine which would set them back £800 in the UK. But for a one colour design or simpler logos then simple screen printings pretty good.
