Services
Screen Printing
Our core service uses traditional screen printing for vibrant, durable designs on apparel and merchandise. Ideal for medium to large orders, we employ plastisol or water-based inks to ensure longevity and softness. With over 20 years of expertise, we handle complex multi-color designs and specialty upgrades like custom color matching and oversized prints.
Embroidery
We offer high-quality embroidery for logos and designs on garments like hats, polos, and jackets. Our in-house digitizing and 3D puff patches add dimensionality, while metallic threading and monogramming options enhance customization. Perfect for professional branding or personalized gifts.
DTG Printing
Direct-to-garment printing provides unlimited color options with no minimum orders. Our advanced CMYK printers reproduce photorealistic designs on t-shirts, hoodies, and more. This cost-effective method suits small batches or unique pieces with zero setup costs.
Live Printing
Our mobile printing service creates interactive experiences at events. We bring equipment to your location, printing custom merchandise on-site. Ideal for concerts, festivals, or corporate events, this service engages crowds and generates instant brand visibility.
Sublimation
This method transfers full-color designs onto polyester garments or promotional items using heat. We produce flags, bandanas, and accessories with vibrant, long-lasting prints. Sublimation ensures seamless integration of complex graphics into the fabric.

My band has used WNM for several orders and have always been satisfied with our interaction. Ben and crew work with you personally around design, pricing, and shipping always looking out for the customer. Bone Storm can't recommend WeNeedMerch enough for your screen printing needs!

We were referred by a friend who's been having their band t-shirts printed by them for years. He said they were super easy to work with and did a great job. They did an excellent job on our shirts, too. They were incredibly friendly and easy to work with. Also, they had a quick turn around time. We'll definitely having more printing done by them!
