Where can I get hackathon t-shirts made?
Send us your event artwork and your sponsors' logos and we'll make participant tees, organizer swag, and sponsor-logo merch, delivered before your hackathon. We lay out the sponsor-logo grid on the back so every funder gets clean visibility, invoice university and company accounts, and start at a 50-unit minimum — which most hackathons clear with participant shirts alone. Free mockup before anything is printed.
Quote by the next business morning — usually same day. Prices quoted are guaranteed for 30 days.
The hackathon t-shirt is the one piece of swag everyone keeps. Participants wear it home, to class, and to the next event — which makes it the best advertising your hackathon and its sponsors will get. Good hackathon merch does two jobs at once: it gives every participant a keepsake, and it turns the shirt into a wearable thank-you for the companies funding the weekend.
We make it easy for a student-run or company-run event to pull off. Send your event design and your sponsors' logos, and we'll lay out a clean sponsor-logo grid on the back, mock the whole thing up for free, and deliver before your kickoff. Tier it however you like: a participant tee for everyone, a premium hoodie for organizers and mentors, and sticker packs that end up on every laptop in the room.
Most hackathons clear our 50-unit minimum on participant shirts alone. And because we invoice university departments and company sponsors directly, the finance side stays clean for whoever's holding the budget.
What it costs, by quantity
Delivered per-unit ranges for the pieces hackathons order most, by quantity — the same published ranges as our cost guide, shipping to one address included.
Ranges are decorated, per-unit, delivered — budgeting estimates, not a checkout price. Your exact figure comes back itemized in the free quote. For the full list across every product, see the custom merch cost guide.
Sponsor-logo backs done right
Sponsor logos on the back of the shirt are the standard hackathon perk — and getting the layout right matters, because a messy grid makes your sponsors look like an afterthought. We normalize logos of every format and size into a balanced grid, tiered if you want headline sponsors larger than supporting ones, and show you the mockup so every company signs off before printing.
It's the most visible thank-you you can give a sponsor: their mark on a shirt that gets worn for months, not a slide that disappears when the projector turns off.
Tier the swag: participants, organizers, mentors
The best hackathon swag isn't one item — it's a tier. A screen-printed tee for every participant keeps the per-shirt cost low across your biggest group. A premium hoodie or crewneck for organizers, judges, and mentors sets the core team apart. Die-cut sticker packs are cheap, beloved, and end up on every laptop lid in the venue, extending your reach far past the weekend.
Invoice-friendly for university & company budgets
Hackathons are usually funded by a university department, a student org's account, or a company sponsor — so we bill the way those budgets need. We invoice directly, accept purchase orders, and provide a W-9 on request, and your quote is guaranteed for 30 days while the paperwork clears. Whoever's holding the budget gets clean documentation, not a personal credit-card scramble.
What to send for a same-day quote
The more of this you include, the faster we can turn a real number around. Quote by the next business morning — usually same day. Prices quoted are guaranteed for 30 days.
- Your event artwork or logo, plus all sponsor logos for the back.
- Head count and the tiers you want — participant tee, organizer hoodie, stickers.
- Sizes (a rough size run from registrations is fine).
- Your event date and where to ship.
- A PO number or W-9 request if a university or sponsor is paying.
Timing & turnaround
Work backward from your event: roughly two weeks of production from an approved mockup, plus shipping. Sponsor logos often arrive late, so lock the participant-shirt art early and add a sponsor tier once the logos are in. Fall events fill fast — start six to eight weeks out where you can.
Ship everything to one campus or office address for easy handout at check-in.
