Artist & tour merch
Artist tour merch, printed at every stop.
Touring means a new room every night and a new size guess every city. Live printing lets an artist carry art files instead of freight and print to the actual room.
Carry the art, not the freight
Traditional tour merch means printing thousands of units up front and shipping heavy cases from city to city, eating storage, reorders, and dead stock along the way. A live station flips it: the artist's designs travel as files, blanks are staged locally, and shirts are pressed to demand at each stop. No pallet of unsold merch riding in the trailer to the next city.
Print to the room you actually have
A 900-cap club and a festival side stage move very different volumes. Live printing scales with the night — you never over-commit to a room that turns out smaller than the forecast, and you never sell out of the size that's moving.
Fresh drops and collabs on the fly
Tour exclusives, city-specific graphics ("[CITY] NIGHT ONE"), and support-act collabs all go on shirts the same day with no screen setup. That flexibility is impossible with pre-printed inventory locked in weeks out.
Blanks fans keep
We press onto Bella+Canvas and Gildan tees and fleece, plus Richardson 112 caps for the hat table — the pieces fans actually wear after the tour ends. Send the tour art package and routing and we'll plan blanks and crew for each stop.
