How The Process Works
Thank you for taking the time to get additional information on getting Driver & Team t-shirts. The process is quite simple: We create your design, post it on Race Gear Merch, and if you like it, you buy it. It's that simple. No upfront cost, no design fees, no minimum order, no hassles.
In order to get the best print possible, we do ask that you send us high-resolution pictures of the entire car, ideally from different angles. If you want your sponsor's logos on the shirt, we will need image files from your graphics person. Whoever does your wrap or graphics should have these image files. It's best to have these files in vector format. You can let them know we use Adobe Illustrator as our design program.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Are there any design or setup fees?
A: Absolutely not. Nada, nothing, zilch!
Q: Are these silk screened shirts?
A: No. Our shirts are printed one at a time using DTG (Direct To Garment) technology using an industrial Epson F2100 DTG printer. Unlike silk screen printing, we can print unlimited colors and there are no screen setup fees.
Q: Is there a minimum order of shirts I need to buy?
A: Not at all. We can print just 1 or 1,000.
Q: Does Race Gear Merch offer any volume discounts?
A: Unfortunately not at this time. Unlike silk screen shirts, we are not able to print multiple shirts at one time. Each shirt is printed individually and our costs are the same per shirt whether we print 1 or 1,000.
Q: What is the price of the t-shirts?
A: We try to keep our prices as low as possible. We understand that your expenses to run a race team are not cheap. Most teams do not have large sponsorship deals. The majority of teams are hard-working grassroots racing families giving all they can for a sport they love.
As of 12/25/22, our prices are as follows:
- 2-sided printed t-shirt, normally back and left chest, for sizes small, medium, large and x-large are $20.95. 2X-large shirts are $22.50 and 3X-large shirts are $23.75. (plus shipping)
- 1-sided printed t-shirt, front or back, for sizes small, medium, large and x-large are $17.95. 2X-large shirts are $19.50 and 3X-large shirts are $20.75. (plus shipping)
Q: Can I sell these t-shirts and markup the price?
A: You sure can. What many teams do is to advertise their team t-shirts on their Facebook page or website and sell them, say for example $25. So if your cost was $17.95, you would make $7.05 per shirt. A lot of teams also sell them at the track.
Q: I have a special event race coming up, can I get a design made for this particular race?
A: Certainly can. We can make "special race" designs specifically for your event, memorial races, July 4th, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Cancer Awareness, etc.
Q: How can I send you my sponsor logo files?
A: Please email them to james@mccarthy123.com
Q: OK, I'm in. How do I get started?
A: Contact us and we'll get right on it.
