Live event printing
with San Diego ease
Our crew brings live printing to your venue as a working print shop: DTF transfers, a hat bar, on-site embroidery and screen printing, each one a station of its own. Your San Diego guests watch their merch get made, and each one waits about two minutes.

Date, venue, headcount and your art. The itemized quote comes back within 24 hours.
Art gets dialed in
We proof the design and lock blanks about a week out, across an XS–4XL run.
We load in early
The truck leaves Fullerton that morning and the station is built before your doors open.
Prints go live
Guests pick, we print, they wear it. Up to 60 an hour per press.
Live stations
Five live stations,
one San Diego setup
Most bookings here pair two. Live screen printing in San Diego earns its space when one design goes on a lot of shirts, and the rest of our live event printing lineup handles names, caps and stitching.

Hand-pulled prints for one bold design, like a Convention Center sponsor tee.
ExploreLive DTF Printing

ExploreLive Hat Bar
Caps and patches, pressed to order. Fits a taproom corner.

Recent work: on May 13 a four-person crew printed 320 white tees live with 10×12" DTF transfers at a conference activation inside the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. Read the case study.

Questions
Before you ask
Most San Diego bookings land between $5K and $15K all-in. Guest count, hours of printing, garment choice and the number of stations move it most. The quote covers crew, equipment, blanks, load-in, teardown and every piece printed, as one itemized figure within 24 hours.
One press prints up to 60 shirts an hour, and our standard station runs two presses with two printers, so a busy San Diego event clears 100+ an hour. Each guest waits about two minutes between picking a design and wearing it. Here's how to size live printing for a San Diego crowd.
About 10×10 ft per station and two dedicated 120V/20A circuits. We bring the presses, ink, garments, tables and crew. At the San Diego Convention Center the power goes on the venue's electrical order; outdoors, plan on shade.
Four to six weeks is comfortable and two weeks is usually workable. Convention Center show weeks fill first, so book early if your date lines up with a big show.
No. Live t-shirt printing is where most San Diego setups start, but we also run live DTF, a hat bar, on-site embroidery, and hard goods like totes and drinkware. A common setup is a tee station plus one upgrade station.
Yes. Our shop is in Fullerton, 91 miles north as the crow flies, and the truck is loaded the morning of your event. There's no travel fee from Orange County down, and we bring everything the station needs.
Yes. We print in your booth at the San Diego Convention Center or anywhere else in the venue, and attendees get a finished shirt, hat or tote a couple of minutes after they pick a design. Booth power goes through the show's electrical order.
One itemized quote covers it all: printers and presses, blank garments, ink and transfers, load-in, teardown and every piece printed during your hours. Corporate activations, sponsor booths and private parties get the same full scope.
Rooms of every size. The setup scales from the San Diego Convention Center, Petco Park, Pechanga Arena and Snapdragon Stadium down to hotel ballrooms, taprooms and backyard receptions. The Gaslamp, downtown, North Park, La Jolla and the rest of the county are all in range. Fairgrounds and bayfront stages have their own page: live printing for San Diego festivals. Kickoffs, summits and offsites are under live printing for San Diego corporate events.
