Screen Printing 250 Custom LA Apparel HF09GD Hoodies for H.E.R.'s Concert

The Story

The Hoodie: Los Angeles Apparel HF09GD

H.E.R. wanted the best for her fans, and we agreed that the Los Angeles Apparel HF09GD hoodie was the perfect fit. This hoodie is made from 14oz luxurious fleece, known for being incredibly soft and warm, yet still breathable and moisture-wicking—ideal for both indoor and outdoor wear.

The loose fit allows for a full range of motion, while features like the kangaroo pocket and ribbed cuffs and hem add functionality and comfort. The garment-dyed finish gives the hoodie a unique, long-lasting color, with less shrinkage and color fading after multiple washes, making it the perfect canvas for H.E.R.’s stunning design.

Simulated Process Printing in 4 Colors

For this project, we utilized our 4-color (base white, highlight white, light gray, and black inks) simulated process screen printing method. This advanced technique was essential in achieving the intricate gradient details required for the design while ensuring that the print looked flawless on the black fleece.

Simulated process printing allows us to create photorealistic prints using fewer colors—ideal for reproducing complex artwork on dark garments like the HF09GD. Our team used high mesh screens and precision tensioning to capture every detail of the design, making sure it would pop on stage and in fans’ hands.

Custom Neck Tags and Retail Finishing

In addition to the jumbo design, we added custom screen-printed neck tags, which elevated the hoodie’s premium feel.

Our retail finish services included folding, bagging, and adding size labels, ensuring that each hoodie was retail-ready for the concert merch booth. By offering retail finishing, we saved H.E.R.’s team the hassle of prepping the hoodies themselves, allowing them to focus on what they do best—putting on an unforgettable show.

Fast Turnaround: 3 Business Days

Despite the high volume and complexity of the design, our experienced team was able to print, finish, and courier the hoodies directly to the venue in just 3 business days. This kind of quick turnaround is crucial in the fast-paced world of concert merchandise, where the window between order placement and showtime is often tight.
