Class Gear

Custom screen printed shirts, bags, and accessories for preschool and school classes. Designed and printed by Tugboat Toy Company in Roslindale, Boston.

What this is

Every class deserves its own gear. We design a custom shirt for your class, print it locally, and get it into little hands (and a few grown-up ones too). It started with a single preschool class and a tie-dye day. Teachers kept asking, so now it is something any class can do.

You bring the class. We handle the design and the printing.

How it works

1. Tell us about your class. Fill out the quick form below. We need the class name, your contact info, a rough headcount, and any design ideas you have. A theme, a mascot, a color, a doodle. Anything is a starting point.

2. We design it. Using 20+ years of professional design experience, we create a custom one-color design for your class and turn it into a print screen. You approve the design before anything gets printed.

3. You collect orders. We send you a simple size and quantity sheet to share with families. Kids' sizes and adult sizes are both available.

4. We print and deliver. We print the full batch and get the finished pieces back to you.

Pricing

One-time setup: $50 per new class design. This covers the custom design work and the print screens. You only pay this once, ever.

Per piece:

  • Kids' shirts: $15

  • Adult shirts: $25

  • Bags and accessories: ask for a quote

Reorders are setup-free. Once your class has a design, you can reorder any time with no setup fee. Just send us the new sizes and counts. Returning classes only ever pay per piece.

New class this year? You pay the one-time setup, then your class can reorder for years with no setup fee again.

Why classes love it

  • Local and small batch. Printed right here in Boston, not drop-shipped.

  • Low minimums. You do not need a giant order to make it worthwhile.

  • Real design, not clip art. Each class gets an original design made for them.

  • Easy for teachers. You collect sizes, we do the rest.
