Be prepared for the Festive Period!

The festive season is the busiest (and most profitable!) time of year for print-on-demand and t-shirt businesses. To make sure your workshop runs smoothly, here are 5 essential items you’ll want stocked and ready before the Christmas orders roll in:

1. Quality Garments

Stock up on your best-selling blanks early. Popular sizes and colours disappear fast in December. Think cozy sweatshirts, festive tees, and even baby grows for those family matching sets! We recommend suppliers such as Pencarrie and Ralawise as they have huge ranges of brands and sizes available at all different price points. 

2. Packing & Shipping Supplies

Make your packaging stand out this Christmas. You’ll need plenty of mailing bags, tissue paper, stickers, thank-you cards, and shipping labels. A little branded touch goes a long way! Suppliers such as Kite are a great one stop shop for all of your packaging supplies. 

3. Printing Supplies

Check your ink levels, vinyl stock, and transfers now. Keep backups of your go-to designs so you don’t lose time during the rush. Don’t worry though, you can order your DTF transfers with us at dtfpro.co.uk by 2pm and get next day delivery!

4. Workspace Essentials

Keep your space organised with spare tape, heat-resistant gloves, and lint rollers. Small tools make a big difference when you’re fulfilling dozens of orders a day.

5. Marketing & Mockups

Update your online store with festive mockups, gift ideas, and bundle offers. Social media ads and early-bird deals can help bring in those early shoppers. It’s also a great idea to include flyers with exclusive discounts for repeat customers and help increase customer loyalty.
