Event Merch Challenges
We Know What Event Organizers Need
Events have hard deadlines, big quantities, and zero room for error. We have been printing event merch since 2010.
Tight Deadlines & Last-Minute Changes
Event dates are fixed and artwork often changes up to the wire. We offer rush production (3-5 days) and are experienced at hitting hard deadlines for festivals, races, and concerts.
Selling Merch at the Event
Event merch needs to look good enough to sell. We print on retail-quality blanks with vibrant, eye-catching graphics that attendees want to buy and wear again.
Multiple Designs & Colorways
Festivals often need 3-5 different designs across multiple garment colors. We manage multi-design orders efficiently with shared setup to save you money.
Large Volume, Fast Turnaround
Printing 500-2000 pieces fast requires production capacity. Our facility runs multiple automatic presses and can handle high-volume event orders on tight timelines.

Case Study
How We Printed for a Major Festival
SoCal Music & Arts Festival
1,200 festival tees (4 designs) + 150 VIP tees + 80 crew shirts
The Challenge
Four unique designs across 3 garment colors, plus separate VIP and crew shirts - all needed 8 days before the event. Artwork was not finalized until 10 days out.
Our Solution
We fast-tracked artwork approval, ran proofs same-day, and dedicated two automatic presses to the job. Screen printed all 1,430 pieces on Comfort Colors blanks with 4-color prints. VIP shirts got a special metallic ink accent.
The Result
Everything delivered 2 days early. The merch booth sold out of 3 designs by Saturday afternoon. The event organizer has re-ordered for their spring and fall festivals every year since.
