A few good
questions.

What does a live event cost?

Live event activations start at $4,000 on our current site. Your quote depends on products, quantities, printing methods, event hours, staffing and travel. Send the date and guest count for a tailored estimate.

Do you travel outside Southern California?

Yes. We serve Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Las Vegas and events nationwide. Travel and logistics are included in your event-specific quote.

Do you provide the equipment and apparel?

We can supply the printing equipment, professional crew and selected blank products. We confirm venue power, footprint and access with your team during planning.

Can guests personalize their merch?

Yes. Names, numbers, initials, design selections and patches can be part of the experience. We agree on options in advance to fit your audience and production schedule.

Which method should we choose?

Screen printing highlights the craft. DTF works well for full-color artwork. Embroidery and patch bars suit personalized hats and gifts. We help match the method to your products, guest count and time on-site.
