Edinburgh T-Shirt and Festival Merch Printing

Scotland's capital is one of the most visited cities in the UK, built around its castle, the Royal Mile and a year round tourism trade, and every August the Festival Fringe turns it into the world's biggest arts festival. Behind the visitors is a strong economy of financial services, universities and tech businesses. We provide custom t-shirt printing, embroidery and branded merchandise for Edinburgh, from show merch to staff uniforms, with advice to help it look its best.

What we print

Custom clothing and merch for Edinburgh.

Fringe and festival merch

A good t-shirt sells a show long after the flyers have gone. Screen printed or DTF printed tees, tote bags and hoodies all work well for performers and venues, and ordering early in the summer avoids the August rush.

Screen printed t-shirts

We have print houses all over the UK, so we can offer a quick turnaround on screen printing for Edinburgh clients. It gives the best value from 20 units per design.

Tourism and hospitality uniforms

Hotels, restaurants and attractions across the Old Town and New Town need uniforms that look smart and last. Embroidered polos, fleeces and jackets are a reliable choice for staff who are on their feet all day.

Getting your merch ready for August

If you are taking a show to the Fringe, merch is one of the easiest ways to recover some of the costs. Our guide to t-shirt printing for bands applies just as well to comedians and theatre companies, and tote bags are a low cost alternative that audiences actually use.

For Edinburgh's universities and the companies around the Exchange, embroidered hoodies and quarter zips suit freshers' events, graduate schemes and team days. See our education page for more ideas.

Edinburgh weather can turn quickly, so outerwear matters for tour guides, attraction staff and anyone working outdoors. Embroidered softshells and waterproof jackets keep a team recognisable in the rain, and branded umbrellas are a practical giveaway that gets used all winter. For conferences at the EICC and meetings across the financial district, printed lanyards, notepads and pens give delegates something useful to take away. Our promotional merchandise range covers all of these, so your branding stays consistent from the uniforms to the welcome desk.

Common questions

Edinburgh printing FAQs

Do you deliver printed clothing to Edinburgh?

Yes. We deliver by tracked, insured courier to any address in Edinburgh and the Lothians, as well as the rest of Scotland.

When should I order merch for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe?

As early as you can. Standard turnaround is six to seven business days from artwork approval, but the weeks before August are the busiest of the year, so ordering in June or early July leaves time for a proof and any changes.

What is the minimum order for custom t-shirts in Edinburgh?

Screen printing is recommended from 20 units per design. If you only need a handful for a small cast or crew, embroidery and digital printing start from eight pieces.

Can you brand outerwear for Edinburgh tour guides and attractions?

Yes. Embroidered softshells, fleeces and waterproof jackets keep outdoor staff recognisable in the rain, and branded umbrellas make a practical extra for visitors.
