Live event printing,
custom merch in Seattle
Live printing with DTF, a hat bar, embroidery and screen printing as equal stations, built inside Seattle conventions, tech-campus events and launch parties, making merch your guests watch come off the press.
A Seattle room full of engineers has seen every free tee there is. What still gets a line is a working machine and a shirt with their own team name on it. We bring DTF printers, an embroidery station, a hat bar and screen presses to the Seattle Convention Center, a South Lake Union office floor or a Capitol Hill venue, and turn your logo into apparel while each guest waits about two minutes.

We set your logo up for screens or DTF film. Art locks about a week before the event.
We build the booth
The presses ship ahead from Fullerton as freight, the crew flies in, and the station is tested before doors.

Guests pick a size and a design, we print, they wear it. Each guest waits about two minutes.
Live stations
What we run
live in Seattle
Most Seattle rooms need one or two stations. Live screen printing in Seattle is the pick when one design goes on a lot of shirts, and the rest of our live event printing lineup handles team names, caps and stitched logos.

Why live
Handed-out merch fades fast.
Merch made before your eyes sticks.
A folded shirt on a table gets taken and forgotten. A press running in the room pulls people over, because they want to see their own piece made and then wear it for the rest of the event.
In Seattle that might be a launch shirt with a repo name on it at a South Lake Union party, a stitched beanie at a Bellevue offsite, or a sponsor tee on a Convention Center show floor. Guests hang on to it because they watched it happen.

All over Seattle,

Convention Center halls, South Lake Union courtyards, Capitol Hill pop-ups, Fremont studio floors, SoDo warehouses, and over the bridges to Bellevue and the Eastside or down to Tacoma and up to Everett. For anything outdoors, plan a roof or a tent over the station and the rest works like an indoor job.

Questions
Quick answers
Most Seattle events land between $5K and $15K. Guest count, print hours, the garments you pick and the setup decide where. The quote lists crew, gear, blanks, travel, setup, teardown and every print, and it's back to you within 24 hours.
Each press does up to 60 an hour, and our usual station runs two presses with two printers, so 100+ an hour when the line is moving. Each guest waits about two minutes for theirs. Here's how we size live printing for a Seattle crowd.
About 10×10 ft per station and two dedicated 120V/20A circuits. We bring the presses, ink, blanks, tables and crew. Indoors is easy. Outdoors, the station needs a roof or a tent over it and power within reach.
Six to eight weeks is comfortable. We're 976 straight-line miles away in Fullerton, so the presses ship as freight and the crew flies in, and a date change needs a week's notice to re-book the freight. A closer date can still work with simple art and standard blanks, so ask before you rule it out.
No. Live t-shirt printing is the anchor, but we also run a hat bar with pressed patches, embroidery on site, and totes and drinkware. In Seattle a lot of groups add a heavier layer, like a crewneck or a beanie, next to the tee.
Yes. Every Seattle event is a travel job for us: we're based in Fullerton, CA, the kit ships as freight and the crew flies in. Flights, lodging and freight sit on the quote as one flat line. Once we're in town we cover the Puget Sound region, from Everett to Tacoma and over to the Eastside.
Yes. A convention booth is where a live station earns its space. We fit it to your booth at the Seattle Convention Center or a hall at Lumen Field Event Center and print attendee merch while the floor is open. Send the move-in schedule early so the freight arrives in time.
One quote covers the whole job: presses and crew, garments, art prep, travel, setup and strike, and every print made during your window, whether it's a trade show booth or a private party.
Rooms of every size: Seattle Convention Center halls, Lumen Field Event Center, hotel ballrooms, breweries and studio spaces like Fremont Studios. Arena and ballpark events at Climate Pledge Arena or T-Mobile Park depend on the venue's own rules, so we plan those with its event team. Downtown, South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, Belltown and the rest of the metro are all in range. Outdoor stages and concerts have their own page: live printing for Seattle festivals. Offices, kickoffs and conferences have theirs too: live printing for Seattle corporate events.
