Custom Apparel & Merchandise for Events, Concerts & Parties
Plan the print run around your event: staff shirts, guest tees and merchandise to sell or give away, with in-house apparel decoration and a clear quote before you approve production.
Event tees and hoodies: separate the people from the merch
Start with who will wear each item. Staff shirts can identify your production team, while attendee tees and hoodies carry the event design. Keep staff, guest and resale quantities separate, with garment colors, sizes and artwork for each. Screen-printed event tees, long sleeves and hoodies are decorated in-house at our New Hyde Park shop; the standard screen printing minimum is 36 pieces. Different designs or garments do not automatically combine into one minimum.
- Screen-printed event T-shirts
- Hoodies and long sleeves
- Staff and production crew shirts
- Separate attendee and resale runs
Concert promoters, festivals and DJs: plan the merchandise run
For a concert, festival or DJ event, list the show artwork, garment styles and planned sale quantities before choosing the print setup. A front logo and a back lineup are separate print locations; dates, artist names and sponsor marks should be checked before approval. Ask for quantities by design and size rather than one total across multiple graphics. Only submit artwork you have permission to reproduce. We provide custom decoration, not official artist licensing or a claim of partnership, and do not promise merchandise sales or sell-through.
- Artist merchandise using authorized artwork
- Festival or concert date tees
- DJ and promoter-branded hoodies
- Artwork review before production approval
Party planners and bar or bat mitzvah apparel
Coordinate a party tee or hoodie around the celebration's design, not just its date. For bar and bat mitzvahs, share youth and adult size needs separately, spellings, the event date and any personalized artwork. Send a size list rather than assuming age determines fit. If different names or designs are requested, flag them at the quote stage so we can review the decoration method, setup and minimums. Guest apparel and planner staff shirts can be included in the same request with separate breakdowns.
- Celebration tees and hoodies
- Youth and adult size breakdowns
- Planner and event team shirts
- Names, dates and artwork checked before approval
Corporate activations and promotional items
For a launch, conference or corporate activation, distinguish staff apparel from giveaway merchandise. Printed totes and promotional items such as pens and notebooks can be quoted alongside event shirts, with separate quantities and decoration details. Product availability, imprint options and minimums are confirmed for the selected item; the 36-piece standard screen printing minimum is not a blanket promotional-product minimum. For agency orders, identify who will approve the garment, artwork and schedule so client sign-off is part of the plan.
- Branded event and activation shirts
- Printed totes
- Promotional pens and notebooks
- Itemized quantities for staff and giveaways
Build a useful quantity and size plan
Use your staff count, registrations, guest list or previous merchandise run as a starting point, not a guaranteed sales forecast. Collect staff sizes directly where possible; for attendee or resale runs, send your own planned size mix and identify any youth sizing. If you want extra pieces, include them in the initial request. Garment stock and a later reorder are reviewed separately, so do not depend on an unconfirmed last-minute replenishment to cover the event.
- Quantity by garment and design
- Size mix for each separate run
- Youth and adult sizing clearly identified
- Any extra pieces included in the brief
Work backward from the date you need the order in hand
Give us both the event date and the earlier date you need the finished order for setup or distribution. Production timing depends on garment and product availability, artwork approval and the agreed schedule. Rush options subject to availability. A quote reply within 24 business hours is not a 24-hour production promise. Share the handover location too: pickup at our New Hyde Park shop or delivery arrangements are confirmed in your quote, not assumed from the event address.
- Event date and in-hand deadline
- Artwork approval contact
- Pickup or delivery location
- Schedule confirmed before order approval

What changes an event merchandise quote?
The garment or product, quantity, artwork colors and decoration locations affect the quote. Front and back graphics, multiple designs and personalized items need separate review. The standard screen printing minimum is 36 pieces; embroidery minimums varies by garment and design, and other product minimums varies by product and decoration method. Send the breakdown before committing to a budget or deadline. Reorders require a new quote and availability check; earlier pricing and stock are not guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum for screen-printed event shirts?
The standard screen printing minimum is 36 pieces. List quantities by design, garment and size so we can confirm the requirements. Embroidery and promotional-product minimums vary; 36 does not apply to every method or item.
Can you print artist or DJ merchandise?
Yes — send the artwork you have permission to reproduce, garment choices, quantities and size mix. We review the print setup and schedule. Custom printing does not imply an official artist partnership or licensing arrangement.
Can we order youth and adult sizes for a bar or bat mitzvah?
Include youth and adult sizes separately in your request, along with garment preferences, artwork and the date needed. We confirm sizing and garment availability in the quote; different styles do not automatically share one minimum.
Can staff shirts and attendee merchandise be quoted together?
Yes. Send separate quantities, garment colors, size lists and artwork for each group. Distinct designs and print locations are reviewed separately so the quote reflects the actual production runs.
Do you offer printed totes and promotional items for events?
Printed totes, pens and notebooks can be included in your request. Available products, decoration options and minimums vary and are confirmed in the quote. List the quantity and artwork for each item separately.
What artwork and planning details should I send?
Send your logo or design files, print colors and placements, garment or product choices, quantities by size, event date, in-hand deadline and approval contact. Check permissions, spellings, dates, artist names and sponsor marks before approving the final artwork.
How soon will I receive a free event quote?
We reply with a free quote and mockup within 24 business hours. Production timing is confirmed separately for your order and artwork approval.
Can you meet a tight event deadline?
Share your in-hand deadline before ordering. Rush options are subject to availability; we review the product availability, artwork and production schedule before confirming what is possible. No event deadline is guaranteed before that review.
Can I pick up locally or arrange delivery?
Pickup at our New Hyde Park shop or delivery arrangements are confirmed in your quote. We serve all five NYC boroughs — Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island — plus Nassau and Suffolk counties. Share the handover address and date needed.
