New fast merch service for bands, festivals and promoters
A new service that enables promoters, festivals and bands to get quality promotional clothing printed in 24 hours was launched at the Merchandise World event in Coventry.
Samedayprintwear.com has been set up as a sister website by the experienced team that has been running samedaybags.com for the last 10 years.
The eco-friendly screen printers have expanded their headquarters in Monmouthshire, from which they have been turning around last-minute orders for promotional bags for exhibitions, conferences and events and are now offering T-shirts, hoodies and other clothing with delivery within 24 hours when required.
Director Helen Green said: “There is a huge demand for fast turnaround clothing merchandise. Our new service will help festivals, who often have to change line-ups at the last minute. Tour and event sponsors can be given longer to decide on backing an event as their logos can still appear on promotional clothing.
“It will also help bands and promoters who half-way through a tour suddenly find they have a hit on their hands and demand for merchandise soars. Being able to order more without compromising quality is a real advantage.”
Helen and her husband Melvin started out in promotional festive clothing before specialising in bags 10 years ago. They have always screen-printed T-shirts and clothing as a side offering to the bags but are now launching a sister website dedicated to the clothing range.
It will have the same environmental standards and quick turnaround and be produced from the same base in Raglan where the business is recruiting more screen printers, office staff, sales staff and designers over the first quarter of 2023 as the business expands.
They will be offering the EarthPositive® range of shirts which are organic, ethical and climate neutral. The shirts come from Continental, which started in the street markets and music venues of London around 1996 and soon became the favourite among young designers and rock bands.
Since 2007 the clothes have been licensed under the Global Organic Standards (GOTS) and for many years have been licensed by the Soil Association. The EP01 shirt undergoes annual audits to comply with the FWF Code of Labour Practices.
EarthPositive® shirts are made in manufacturing facilities powered by green renewable energy, from low-impact raw materials – which means the Carbon Footprint has been reduced by 90%.
Samedayprintwear.com uses vegan, water-based inks and glues so every part of the product can be environmentally sound.
The classic EarthPositive® collection also comes in 46 different colours and various styles and fits, so there is no compromise on style by caring for the planet and samedayprintwear.com find them a dream to print on.
