A guest walks up, picks a shirt, and about two minutes later is wearing it back onto the show floor. That part looks simple. What makes it simple happens before the truck leaves our Fullerton shop, which for an Anaheim date is a short drive down the road.
Before the event
Send us the logo or event art and we proof it first, then burn screens or print transfers in the shop. We settle garment colors and a size split (we carry XS–4XL) and decide which stations belong in your run-of-show. For a Convention Center booth, that also means reading your exhibitor manual so the move-in time and electrical order are handled weeks ahead.
On site
- Load-in & setup - we unload, build the tables and presses, and fit each station into about 10×10 ft on two 120V circuits. In a resort-hotel ballroom we ask for an outlet that isn't on the catering line.
- Guests choose - shirt or hoodie, their size, one of two or three designs, maybe a patch. That small decision is why people hang on to the piece.
- We print live - one press does up to 60 an hour. Put two side by side and you get past 100 an hour once the line finds its rhythm, which is what a Saturday at a fan expo calls for.
- They wear it out - the print comes off the platen still warm, and it goes straight on or into the tote.
What the venue provides
About 10×10 ft per station, two standard 120V circuits, a flat floor, and somewhere for the line that keeps it out of doorways. At GardenWalk or a Packing District patio, add shade. Anaheim afternoons run hot from late spring into fall, and blanks and people both do better out of direct sun. The full checklist is on venue requirements.
Picking a method
A big hall, one logo and a long line point to screen printing. Full-color art, names on the back or a short run point to DTF. For sponsor nights near Honda Center, a hat bar or embroidery station makes each piece feel like a gift. There's more on how live printing works, or you can tell us about your Anaheim event.
Anaheim proof
What we check before the truck is loaded
For an Anaheim date we sketch the station onto the actual floor plan: where the truck backs in, which wall has power, where the line forms, and where guests pick a garment before they reach a press. It's the same homework for an Anaheim Convention Center hall, a ballroom in the resort district or a patio near Honda Center.
Everything rides on one truck from Fullerton the morning of the event: presses, flash dryers, heat presses, blanks, tables, signage and the printers who run them.
