How to Prep for Your Busiest Printing Season (Without Burning Out)
October’s the calm before the storm, at least for most small business owners. It’s your last chance to get ahead before the holiday floodgates open. From prepping inventory to tightening up your workflow, a little planning now can make all the difference when those late-night t-shirt and hoodie orders start rolling in.
Streamline Your Printing Setup
Group your designs by fabric type and color, and keep your most-used DTF transfers within easy reach. Having a system in place means faster pressing and fewer errors when things get busy.
Stock Smart (Not Stressful)
Instead of overbuying, reorder your bestsellers and a few trending blanks in advance. Track your low-stock alerts and keep backup rolls of film and parchment paper handy, it’s small details that save time later.
Batch Your Workflow
Set aside “printing days” vs. “packaging days.” It sounds simple, but separating your tasks helps you stay focused and efficient, especially when every minute counts.
