FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
-
0%. Traditional merch licensing giants and record labels take 15% to 30%+ off your top line. We don't touch your revenue or take profit splits. All web store sales flow directly into your artist/business management bank account in real time. We simply charge a transparent setup fee and a predictable monthly retainer for hosting and fulfillment management. You keep the profit you earned.
-
100% yes. It’s not an all-or-nothing proposition. You don't need to commit to a full end-to-end management package to work with us.
If you already handle your own web store or take all your merch on the road, you can hire us strictly for custom merch design, print production, or both. However you enter our ecosystem, you get the exact same retail-ready print quality and fan-tested durability.
-
Neither. We don't do POD because cheap, low-quality print-on-demand blanks ruin artist brands.
Instead, we specialize in high-margin, small-to-mid inventory batches tailored to strike the perfect balance between Just-in-Time (JIT) agility and bulk-scale profit.
You don't get stuck with thousands of unsold sizes, but you still get premium, stage-ready screen printing and embroidery.
-
It’s completely modular.
You can use Woodshed strictly for high-end screen printing and embroidery, or you can stack our merch design & print, or custom web store setup and hands-free shipping onto your print order.
We only offer fulfillment services to artists and managers who print their merch with us, but you choose the exact mix of services your roster actually needs.
-
100% yes—that’s the advantage of single-source production.
When you split your backdrops, drumheads, credentials, and apparel across four different vendors, color shift happens.
Because we handle your full tour ecosystem under one roof, we lock your vector artwork and Pantone color profiles across all substrates, ensuring your tees and hoodies match your stage branding perfectly under venue lights.
-
Not at all. Whether you're running on Shopify or Squarespace, we can plug our fulfillment setup directly into your existing storefront.
If you don't have a storefront or your current page is a clunky link-in-bio, we can build a slick, custom-branded web store engineered to handle sudden tour and drop traffic spikes. You pick the setup that fits your workflow.
