We set up a small print shop inside your San Francisco venue and run it in front of your guests. The gear leaves our La Habra shop by truck the day before, a long day up the I-5, and the crew builds and tests the station before doors. Each piece is printed to order, and each guest waits about two minutes.
A San Francisco job, from quote to strike
- You send the basics. Date, venue, rough headcount. An itemized number comes back within 24 hours, with the drive and the crew's lodging on one travel line.
- Art and blanks lock. We set your logo up for screen printing or DTF film. We want it final about a week out, which is also when the XS to 4XL blank order goes in.
- The truck heads north. It loads in La Habra and drives up the day before. For a Moscone Center booth, we work inside the venue's rules; send us the exhibitor manual. A SOMA loft or a Mission gallery usually needs a door, an elevator and a clear path for road cases.
- We print, then pack out. There's a test print before doors. After that the station runs on your schedule, and we strike when you're done.
Shirts aren't the only thing the station can make. The same setup runs a hat bar with pressed patches or embroidery for a VIP room, and a lot of Bay Area events pair one of those with the shirt press.
Fog and wind are what we plan around most in this city. A setup on the Marina Green or out on a pier gets a tent and a spot out of the breeze, since damp blanks don't press cleanly. Inside Fort Mason Center or Bill Graham Civic Auditorium it's the same four steps with less weather talk. Tell us about your event and we'll map the setup.
