To be fair as a local band it is really hard to make money on printing merch these days. I always try to spring for the Bella when I’m ordering but it’s like 11 dollars a shirt for one color printing and people are cheap buying it
Just gotta go the “silk screened in mom’s garage” route to pump them babies out on demand. Once you’ve made the screen, you’re golden. Pretty easy if you’re just printing out transparencies, $3 or $4 per Gildan, $8 per Bella at a craft store[1] and paint costs are negligible after initial purchase. Frankly I wouldn’t spring for anything fancy since when it comes to “how much will I pay for band merch” the quality of said article is likely irrelevant.
though you can get em half that if you shop around online, getting stuck with shirts you’ll never sell would suck ↩︎
