Live On-Site Screen Printing FAQs

Live, on-site screen printing is exactly what it sounds like—we print custom merch right at your event, in real time. Here’s how it works: We bring our mobile screen printing setup, your guests pick a design, and within minutes, they’ve got a fresh, custom-printed t-shirt (or hoodie, tote, whatever fits your vibe). No bulk orders, no wasted merch—just instant, high-quality prints and an experience they won’t forget. Perfect for festivals, trade shows, and brand activations looking to make a lasting impression.

If there’s a crowd, we’re there. We provide live, on-site screen printing for music festivals, trade shows, corporate events, brand activations, sporting events, and more. Whether you’re throwing a high-energy concert, a massive conference, or an action-packed BMX competition, we turn event merch into an experience. Our live printing setup keeps guests engaged, creates instant, high-quality custom gear, and gives your brand or event an unforgettable touch. Got a unique event in mind? Let’s make it happen!

T-shirts are just the beginning! We can print live on hoodies, tank tops, tote bags, bandanas, fanny packs and more—pretty much anything that lays flat and can handle some high-quality ink. Hats? We’ve got those covered too. Instead of traditional screen printing, we heat press custom-made patches onto hats for a premium, long-lasting look. Whether you want custom-printed swag for your festival, corporate event, or trade show, we've got the gear to match the vibe. Not sure if your merch idea will work? Hit us up—we love a good printing challenge!

We recommend offering 5-10 designs for the best flow and experience. We can accommodate anywhere from 1-color to 3-color designs, and the more colors involved, the more creative we get to make it work. There are tons of variations—we’ve seen (and printed) it all! To really dive into what’s possible for your event, a quick chat is best. Reach out, and let’s make some merch magic happen!

Not quite—but we keep it interactive! Attendees get to choose from a selection of pre-made designs and pick their merch style (hoodies, t-shirts, hats, bandanas, etc.) to make it their own. This keeps the printing process smooth, the lines moving fast, and everyone walking away with fresh, custom event swag. If you're looking for something even more personalized, let’s chat—we’re all about creative solutions!

We roll in with the full setup—this isn’t some tiny tabletop operation! We need at least a 12x12 space to work our magic. That’s because we bring a real-deal screen printing press, a dryer, ink storage, screen storage, and all of our inventory. Our setup includes a decked-out tent (yep, we add lights and tapestries for extra flair) and two 6-ft tables to keep things running smoothly. Get a feel for our setup below:

Print time depends on a few key factors—design complexity, color count, and whether we’re printing on one side or both. On average, it takes about 3-5 minutes per shirt when switching between designs. If we’re printing the same shirt over and over (like at corporate events), we can move faster—about 15 seconds to load and print each one—but the dryer still takes about a minute per side. With the right setup, we can print around 60-120 shirts an hour, but factors like the number of designs and colors can impact speed. Our priority? Keeping the line moving while making sure every print looks top-notch. Reach out to our expert team for more info.

Yep, we do need power to keep the prints flowing! Our setup requires a single-phase 110V connection with two separate 20-amp circuits. This keeps our press, dryer, and other equipment running smoothly. Other than that, we just need our 12x12 space and a solid spot to set up right at the heart of the action. If you're unsure about power availability at your venue, let’s chat—we can help figure out the best setup!

Absolutely! In fact, some promotional items are best pre-printed to keep things efficient. We’re all about flexibility and making the process easy for you. Whether you want a batch of pre-printed shirts ready to go or a mix of pre-printed and live-printed merch, we can make it happen. Just reach out with your ideas, and we’ll give you an honest answer about what’s possible. Let’s create something memorable together!

We’re based in Missouri but love hitting the road! Our main stomping grounds include Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, but we’re always open to traveling further for the right event. In fact, we pack up and head to Wisconsin twice a year!

Some of the cities we frequent:
Missouri – Joplin, Springfield, Branson, Greenfield
Kansas – Wichita, Overland Park, Kansas City
Oklahoma – Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Norman
Arkansas – Fayetteville, Bentonville, Little Rock

Not on this list? Let’s chat. If your event is a great fit, we’ll gas up the van and make it happen!
