Hackathon Merch That Lands Before the Event
A hackathon date does not move, and neither does the moment everyone wants their shirt. blankup produces bulk participant tees, organizer and mentor hoodies, and sponsor-branded pieces on the timeline the event actually runs on, with written pricing up front and a mockup before we print. Tell us your date and headcount and we will tell you what is realistic.
Free written pricing, usually within one business day.
