Live Event Printing in San Diego: Screen Printing at Your Venue

Live custom apparel printed at your San Diego event, with screen printing when one bold design needs to go on a lot of shirts.

Looking for screen printing in San Diego? We bring the press to the event. Real presses and ink, with shirts pulled in front of your guests, and DTF, a hat bar and embroidery next to it when the design calls for them.

Screen printing at your event, not across town

A regular print shop means dropping off a file and picking up boxes later. A live station means the press runs at your venue while guests watch. It suits a Convention Center booth with one sponsor design, a biotech conference that wants a staff shirt, or a resort event in Carlsbad.

What we screen print

Across San Diego County

We set up anywhere from the San Diego Convention Center to Petco Park, so "screen printing near me" means we come to you. Each press turns out up to 60 shirts an hour, and a standard two-press setup clears 100+.

Quick estimate: tell us the headcount and the run time and we'll size the screen print setup to your venue and send an itemized quote within 24 hours.

Planning notes

What screen printing needs from you

Final art about a week before the date. Screens are burned at the Fullerton shop, one per color, so the design has to be settled before the truck is loaded.

One to three colors works best. Full-color art or a name on every shirt is a DTF job, and the two stations can share a footprint.

1–3 colorsthe sweet spot for screens
Up to 60/hrper press
About 1 weekbefore the date, art locks
