With heat printing, you can easily turn simple apparel and accessories into Halloween favorites that customers of all ages will love.
Halloween Apparel Ideas to Sell or Print for Events
Halloween time means various school, charity, and community events that make great opportunities to sell custom apparel. Here are a few popular items to consider:
-
T-Shirts: Perfect for school events, fundraisers, or community Halloween runs. Parents, teachers, and kids alike will love themed shirts with pumpkins, bats, or spooky sayings.
-
Hoodies and Sweatshirts: As the weather cools down in October, cozy apparel becomes a seasonal favorite. Great for spirit wear, fan groups, or local events.
-
Trick-or-Treat Bags: A fun, low-cost option that also provides visibility for your brand or organization. Custom bags can feature glow-in-the-dark designs for added nighttime visibility.
-
Family and Group Apparel: Matching Halloween shirts for families, groups of friends, or organizations add an extra festive touch.
By offering a range of products, you can appeal to schools, businesses, local organizations, and individuals who want to celebrate in style.
Add Special Effects with Transfers
What makes Halloween apparel really stand out? Specialty heat transfers that add unique effects to your designs.
-
Glow in the Dark Transfers: Glow in the Dark Screen Printed Transfers are a perfect fit for Halloween. Add glowing pumpkins, ghosts, or lettering to t-shirts, hoodies, or trick-or-treat bags. Not only do they look amazing, but they also help with nighttime visibility while kids are out trick-or-treating.
-
Puff Transfers: Create a bold, dimensional look with Puff Screen Printed Transfers. Perfect for spooky text or standout graphics, puff transfers add an eye-catching 3D effect that customers can see and feel.
