Let’s be real — merch is often wasteful.
Boxes of unsold t-shirts. Wrong sizes. Promo gear that ends up in the trash.
At Sustainable Better Merch, we’re changing that. Here’s exactly how we run waste-free merch campaigns — and why it’s the smarter way to do business.
1. Everything Starts With a Pre-Order
We don’t guess how many shirts or totes you need.
Instead, we launch a limited-time pre-order campaign where your fans buy first. Then we print only what’s been ordered — nothing extra.
This means:
-
No overproduction
-
No holding stock
-
No wasted materials
-
No cash locked up in guesswork
It’s better for your wallet and way better for the planet.
2. Local, On-Demand Production in Stockholm
Everything is printed right here in our production hub in Stockholm.
No bulk orders from overseas. No long-distance freight. No wasteful overstock.
We print what’s needed, when it’s needed — using eco-friendly inks and ethical labor.
3. Sustainable Products Only
We only work with certified organic or recycled garments from trusted suppliers. That means no fast fashion basics, no polyester blends, no “cheap promo” junk. All items come from fair-trade factories, and most have certifications like GOTS, FairWear, and OEKO-TEX.
4. No Warehousing, No Leftovers
Once the campaign ends and we ship out the orders — we’re done.
You don’t have to store boxes of merch you didn’t sell. You don’t have to deal with unsold sizes. This is how we keep merch campaigns lean, clean, and ethical.
