On-Tour Merch Made Easy: How We Help Bands Stay Stocked on the Road
For touring bands, merch isn’t just an add-on — it’s one of the biggest sources of income on the road. But keeping shirts, hoodies, and other gear stocked while jumping from city to city (or country to country) can get complicated fast.
That’s where we come in.
At Driftwood Design Co., we help bands of all sizes stay fully supplied with high-quality merch no matter where their tour takes them. Whether you need a fresh batch shipped to your next U.S. venue or a full restock delivered overseas, we make the process seamless.
We Print, Pack, and Ship Directly to Your Next Stop
Instead of hauling hundreds of shirts around in a van or hoping you guessed the right quantities before leaving home, we make it easy:
-
We print your merch on-demand or in batches.
-
We ship it directly to the venue, promoter, hotel, or tour manager.
-
It arrives exactly when you need it.
This keeps your load light and ensures you always have the right sizes and quantities for each show.
Touring in the U.S.? We’ve Got You Covered
If you're touring around the States, we can ship merch to:
-
Venues
-
Hotels
-
Tour buses or management offices
-
Promoters
-
Friend/crew addresses
Wherever you're playing next, we’ll make sure your boxes are waiting for you.
We provide tracking, fast turnaround times, and clear communication so you’re never left guessing where your shipment is.
Touring Internationally? We Can Handle That Too
We’ve helped bands stay stocked even when their tour takes them across the globe.
One recent example:
We shipped a full merch order internationally to make sure a band had plenty of shirts for their European tour.
They landed, started their tour, let us know when they needed a restock, and their boxes were waiting for them at the venue. No delays, no customs surprises, no scrambling for last-minute printing overseas.
If you’re touring abroad and need restocks mid-tour, we’ll help you navigate customs, timelines, and shipping options so everything arrives safely and on time.
