Sustainable merch isn't a premium. It's our standard.

Cheap promo quality tees were once the staple of the merch table but today your audience expects more. Merch is a brand and starting with the right tee and inks is essential. We make it easy with our carfeully curated catalogue.

Screen Printed

A quality organic t-shirt with premium waterbased screen print is hard to beat when it comes to band merch. Vibrant, soft hand feel prints that will last wash after wash and keep your design looking fresh.

Embroidered

Most popular for caps and beanies embroidery can also be a great option for a smaller logo on the front of a t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie coupled with a bigger print on the back. 

Direct To Garment

DTG Printing is great for designs with lots of colours and detail due to it's high print resolution and zero set up costs. This also makes it good for short print runs, one off prints or ltd edition prints across a range of garments. 

Bulk Order or Print on Demand

Sales at the merch table are the quickest and probably highest margin but a print on demand online store can keep sales coming in when you're not on the road and whatever time of day or night customers decide to buy from you.

Questions we get from bands

What is the minimum order for band merchandise?
For screen printing the minimum is 20 garments per design — far lower than most UK printers who require 50–100+. For DTG printing and embroidery there is no minimum at all. Our print on demand service has no minimums ever, so you can start selling from day one with zero upfront cost.
What's the difference between print on demand and screen printing for bands?
Print on demand uses direct to garment (DTG) printing — each item printed individually as it's ordered. No minimum, full colour designs, automatic dispatch. Screen printing is for bulk runs (20+) and produces bold, vibrant spot-colour prints at a lower unit cost. Many bands run both: POD for their online store, screen prints for live shows and tours.
Can I get embroidered caps with my band logo?
Yes. Embroidery is available on all our headwear including the Beechfield 5 Panel Cap. We handle digitising in-house. Embroidered caps have a premium feel and photograph brilliantly — ideal for higher-end merch drops or bundled with other items at the merch table.
Will the packaging look branded, or will my fans know it came from a third party?
Your orders ship under plain cover or with your custom branded packing slip — your fans will never see Live Ink's name. You can also add DTG-printed inside neck labels and custom swing tags for a full retail finish.
How quickly can you turn around a tour or show order?
We understand tour dates are fixed. Talk to us as early as possible and we'll work backwards from your show date. Our standard screen printing turnaround is 5–7 working days from artwork sign-off. We offer an express service for time-critical dates. Print on demand orders are typically dispatched within 3–5 working days.
What file format do I need for my band artwork?
For screen printing, vector files (AI or EPS) or high-res raster files at 300dpi minimum. For DTG print on demand, PNG files with transparent backgrounds work best. Not sure? Send us what you have — we'll advise on the best route and can assist with artwork preparation.
Do you charge extra for sustainable inks and organic garments?
No. GOTS certified water-based inks are what we use for all orders — there is no premium tier or sustainable upgrade. You don't have to opt in to something better; it's simply what we do. The garments we offer are all chosen for their ethical and environmental credentials as standard.
