Long Sleeves

Choosing long sleeve T-shirts for your band or artist merch

Why add a long sleeve T-shirt?

A long sleeve gives fans more coverage than a short-sleeve tee without moving straight to a sweatshirt. It suits cooler evenings and layered outfits, offering another option for fans who already own your classic band tee.

How does it differ from a sweatshirt?

A long sleeve generally uses a lighter T-shirt fabric, while sweatshirts typically use heavier fabric such as fleece or French terry. Choose a long sleeve for a tee-like feel with covered arms. If warmth is the priority, compare the fabric details.

Can you print on the sleeves?

That depends on the product and the print options available through Fanbace. Check the available print areas before designing around a sleeve logo or lyric. Long sleeves alone do not mean sleeve printing is offered.

How can the design stand apart from your short-sleeve tee?

Try another artwork crop, a different shirt colour or a lyric that complements your main design. Give fans a reason to choose this version while keeping the collection recognisable. Use clear contrast and keep small text readable.

Can you keep selling when you are on the road?

Yes. Share the Fanbace QR code for your long sleeve or store so fans can order online wherever you meet them. It is also useful when a size sells out at your merch table: fans can still place an online order without you carrying replacement stock.

If you want a small tour inventory, you can buy merchandise through Fanbace at competitive prices.

When will orders ship, and is Fanbace free?

Fanbace dispatches orders within 2–5 days. Production close to the customer helps shorten delivery journeys and reduce shipping costs. These are dispatch times, not guaranteed arrival dates.

Fanbace is free for bands, artists and creatives to use. Print on demand removes the need to purchase inventory before selling; product and fulfilment costs still apply to orders.
