Your Summer Break.
Your Side Hustle.
Your New Income.
You spend all year giving. This summer, give yourself a business. A custom t-shirt side hustle is one of the easiest ways for teachers to earn extra income — and you can start with just a home iron and no design experience at all.
What you DON'T need to get started:
- A printer or special equipment
- Design skills or software
- Minimum order quantities
- A big startup budget
- Tech experience
The Summer Advantage Every Teacher Has
You already have the one thing most aspiring entrepreneurs don't — uninterrupted time to learn and build. Here's why summer is the smartest time to start.
Time to Learn at Your Own Pace
Summer gives you the breathing room to learn the pressing process, set up your store, and make your first few shirts without the pressure of lesson plans and school days.
Earn Before Fall Even Arrives
Many teachers make their first sale within their first week. By the time school starts back up, you could already have a side income stream that doesn't stop when summer does.
Use Skills You Already Have
Teachers are natural communicators, marketers, and community connectors. That's exactly what it takes to sell locally — to parents, churches, dance studios, and small businesses.

What Our Customers Are Saying
"I started over summer break with absolutely no experience. We Print U Press shipped fast, the colors were beyond vibrant, and I made back my first order in the same week I pressed my first shirts. I'm hooked."
"I was nervous to try because I'm not crafty at all. But the transfers were so easy — press, peel, done. The quality blew me away. My coworkers all want shirts now and I'm taking orders. This is the real deal."
"Shipping was fast, quality was excellent, and when I had a question their team answered me immediately. I moved from a home iron to a heat press after my second order and the gang sheet builder saved me so much money."
