Most San Francisco events land between $5,000 and $15,000 all-in. The presses drive up the I-5 from La Habra, so travel is a single line on the quote covering the truck and the crew's lodging. Guest count, hours, garments and the number of stations decide the rest.
What moves a San Francisco number
- Guests and volume: more pieces means more press time and more blanks, and past a point it means a second press and another printer.
- Hours: a two-hour reception in Mission Bay costs less than a full show day at Moscone Center.
- Garments: a basic tee and a heavyweight hoodie for a foggy waterfront night are a long way apart in blank cost.
- Stations: adding a hat bar next to the shirt press adds crew and gear, and it gives guests a second line to join.
Show-floor items can sit outside our quote. At Moscone, we work inside the venue's rules; send us the exhibitor manual and we'll point out anything that belongs on your show order. The fastest way to a real number is to send your date, venue, and headcount. For the full breakdown of how we build a quote, see how our pricing works.
