What is Needlemancer
Needlemancer is a band-first platform for underground metal. We're building a webshop, print-on-demand service, and creator hub that takes the pain out of merch, supports small bands, and amplifies the whole scene. No upfront costs, no inventory risk, no fine print — just real support for real artists.
For Bands
Put out merch without the headache. Submit your art, set your price, and your store goes live — we handle printing, shipping, fulfillment, and customer service. No upfront costs. No minimums. No stock piles eating your budget.
- Print-on-demand with band-controlled pricing.
- Bulk printing available — no minimum order, individually packed in branded wrapping.
- Feature pages with merch, show dates, interviews, and socials.
- Physical redemption tokens so you never lose a sale on the road.
For Fans
Support the bands you love, directly and transparently. Every item is officially approved, printed on demand, and shipped within the EU. No bootlegs, no bargain-bin print houses — just quality merch that keeps the underground alive.
- High-quality POD shirts and gear.
- Exclusive art drops from scene creators.
- Easy discovery across obscure and upcoming bands.
For Artists
Needlemancer gives artists a proper platform too. Get a dedicated profile page, showcase band work, and release your own independent designs. Make it easy for bands to find you, commission you, and credit you properly.
- Dedicated profile with portfolio & links.
- Sell your own non-band designs.
- Direct contact options for commissions.
- Cross-linking to all merch you're involved with.
How It Works
- Reach Out — Send your designs and basic info.
- Set Up Your Merch — We prepare products, set your price, and finalize your storefront.
- Launch — Your band page goes live with merch, show dates, and fan-facing info.
- Print & Ship — Fans order. We print on demand and ship across the EU.
- Get Paid — Clear, transparent payouts. No surprises.
Bulk Orders: No minimums, individually packed, and tour-ready.
Physical Redemption Tokens
Bands don't always want to carry a suitcase full of shirts.
Needlemancer offers laser-engraved collectible tokens — cards, coins, or other small-format items — each with a unique redemption code.
You sell the tokens at shows. Fans get a durable, collectible item on the spot, and redeem the code online for the actual shirt. The band avoids overstock, lost sales, and tour logistics hell; fans get both a shirt and a limited physical keepsake.
