Neighborhood brands, school colors and hoodie weather.
Philadelphia has a deep bench of neighborhood clothing brands, school and college orders, block-party shirts and local teams. Most order a few designs at a time, in tees for summer and hoodies for most of the rest of the year.
Plenty of Philly shops screen print the big runs and send out the short, full-color jobs. DTF covers those: no screens, no color limits, no minimums.

Matching shirts for blocks, reunions and summer events.
Sep–Mar
Hoodie season

Selling shirts in Philadelphia
What most Pennsylvania brands and print shops register before they sell, and how to buy transfers for resale.
Pennsylvania sales tax license
Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (through myPATH)
Required to sell taxable goods like shirts in Pennsylvania. Licensed sellers buying items for resale give suppliers Form REV-1220, the Pennsylvania exemption certificate.
Official siteCommercial Activity License and BIRT registration
Philadelphia businesses need a Commercial Activity License and must register for the Business Income and Receipts Tax. Qualifying new businesses can apply to waive the license fee and BIRT for the first two years.
Official siteWe print transfers, we don't give tax advice. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the agency. Last checked November 2026.
Press hoodies right.
Press on a flat area above the pouch pocket, and avoid seams and zippers. Fleece holds moisture, so a short pre-press helps the transfer bond. A 9–11 in wide print fits most adult hoodie fronts.
