Tour Merch Printing for Bands Touring the UK

Print your merch in the UK before you arrive. No customs, no delays, ready for your first show

Built for Tours, Drops and Live Shows

Travelling internationally with tour merchandise can be expensive and complicated, with airline baggage limits, customs paperwork and border delays making it risky and costly to transport stock between countries. Many bands now choose to have their merchandise printed in the country they are touring in. Flippin Sweet Print Co produces retail quality tour merchandise in the UK for bands arriving from around the world, with orders printed ahead of your tour and delivered directly to your first venue, rehearsal space, hotel or tour manager. Every order is screen printed in house using premium garments and durable inks, ensuring your merchandise is ready to sell from the moment your tour begins.

PRINTING MERCH FOR INTERNATIONAL TOURING BANDS

Bands from the United States, Europe, Australia and beyond regularly tour the UK, and many choose to have their merchandise produced locally rather than travelling with stock. Printing your merch in the UK removes the risk of customs delays, avoids airline baggage costs and ensures your products are ready for sale from the first date of your tour. Flippin Sweet Print Co works with international artists, tour managers and labels to produce high quality screen printed merchandise ahead of UK tours, with orders scheduled in advance and delivered directly to your first venue, rehearsal space, hotel or tour manager, making the process simple and reliable from the moment you arrive. Whether you are playing a handful of UK shows or a full nationwide tour, we can produce consistent retail quality merchandise that is ready when you need it.
