How it works
Everything that makes the shirt bar run.
The magic is in the prep. By the time guests order, the presses are dialed, the sizes are stocked, and the designs are queued — so the line feels instant.
The print methods
Two ways to make a shirt fast.
The garments
Blanks worth wearing home.
We stock the shirts people actually keep. Bella+Canvas 3001 is our house tee — a soft retail-fit unisex crew in a full size run. When budget rules the day we run Gildan value blanks. We also carry tanks, hoodies, and youth sizes on request, plus Richardson 112 and Flexfit caps if you add a hat bar. Tell us your expected size spread and we bring the right depth so the popular sizes don't sell out at hour two.
The crew & the booth
What shows up on event day.
A standard bar arrives as a self-contained kit: press equipment, a stocked garment rack, a menu board, and trained operators who have run this line hundreds of times. We handle load-in, setup, live operation, and teardown. We need a roughly 10x10 footprint, a table or two, and standard power — most heat presses run on a normal 120V circuit, and we confirm power needs with your venue in advance. Give us access an hour or two before doors and we are ready when the first guest walks up.
The artwork
From your logo to a pressed shirt.
Send us your logo or event art and we prep production-ready transfers before the event. No art on hand? We help you build a small menu of two to five designs guests can choose between — enough variety to feel personal without slowing the line. You sign off on every design and the garment colors before anything gets printed.
Straight answers
How-it-works questions
Which print method should we pick?
If guests are choosing from multiple designs or adding names, go DTF for full-color flexibility. If you have one bold logo and a big crowd, live screen printing moves the most shirts. Many events run DTF as the default and we help you decide on the planning call.
What do you need from our venue?
About a 10x10 space, one or two tables, and standard power. Most presses run on a normal outlet; we confirm circuits with your venue ahead of time so nothing trips mid-event.
Can you print on shirts we already have?
Usually yes for DTF, as long as the garments are a pressable blend and we can test a sample beforehand. It is often smoother to let us supply the blanks so sizing and stock are guaranteed.
