On-Site & Same-Day Custom Merch in San Francisco

Custom merch printed during your San Francisco event, so guests leave with it the same day.

Need custom merch fast in San Francisco? Printing on site is same-day by definition. The station makes shirts during the event, and guests leave wearing them that night, not weeks later.

Printed during the event

With the press in your venue, there's no production gap between the order and the finished piece. A guest picks, we print, they wear it, about two minutes per guest. At a launch party or on a conference floor, custom apparel doesn't get faster. What still takes time is the setup: art final about a week out, and the truck up from La Habra the day before.

What we make on the spot

When same-day matters in San Francisco

Product launches in SOMA, Union Square pop-ups and developer conferences at Moscone share a problem with pre-printed merch: boxes that arrive late, or in the wrong sizes. Printing on site removes both. There's no shipment to track and no size guess to regret.

Planning notes

Before the truck leaves La Habra

Same-day at a SOMA conference floor or at The Midway in Dogpatch still starts with a floor plan: where the truck unloads, where the power is and how the line reaches the press.

San Francisco is a long day up the I-5 from our shop, so the kit goes up by truck the day before: presses, heat presses, flash dryers, blanks, tables and signage, with the printers who run them. Plan on about 10x10 ft and two 120V/20A circuits per station. A two-press station does 100+ shirts an hour with a short design menu.
