Live printing in Columbus on a scarlet press

For most Columbus events the all-in figure falls between $5K and $15K. What moves it: how many guests you expect, how long the presses run, which garments you pick, and the setup itself. The quote is one itemized number covering crew, equipment, garments, setup, teardown, travel and every print, delivered within 24 hours.

A press can hold 60 shirts an hour, and because the standard Columbus crew brings two presses and two printers, busy events clear 100-plus shirts an hour without the line stalling. Any one guest waits about two minutes for theirs. Here's how we plan live printing capacity for a Columbus crowd, from Convention Center booths to Nationwide Arena nights.

Two things: floor space of roughly 10×10 feet per station, and a pair of dedicated 120V circuits for the flash dryers. Everything else (presses, ink, garments, tables, people) ships in ahead of us, indoors or out.

Six to ten weeks is the comfortable window for a Columbus date. Our gear ships freight from Fullerton and the crew flies in a day early, so fall football weekends and big convention weeks are worth booking toward the long end. A closer date can still work with simple art, so ask.

Live t-shirt printing is the core of most Columbus builds, but it's one option of several. Live DTF transfers, a press-your-own hat bar, on-site embroidery, and hard goods like totes and drinkware are all on the menu; a core tee plus one upgrade station is the usual pick.

Yes. We're based in Fullerton, CA, 1,962 miles away in a straight line, so for a Columbus date the presses ship freight and the crew flies in a day early. Travel and lodging sit on your quote as one fixed line, the same at 200 guests or 800.

Yes, and most of it happens on the Greater Columbus Convention Center floor. A live printing booth sits right in your booth space or wherever the venue allows, turning out shirts, hats and merch for attendees while the crowd gathers.

One quote, the whole job: crew, presses and equipment, garments, setup and teardown, travel, and every piece printed during your window. Corporate activations, sponsor booths, test-market launches and private parties are all handled end to end.

If the space can hold a 10×10 station, we can print in it. That covers the Greater Columbus Convention Center, concourses at Nationwide Arena, the Schottenstein Center, and Lower.com Field, and just as easily a hotel ballroom or a private room in German Village. Conventions, corporate gatherings, festivals, and activations across Downtown, the Short North, and the Arena District all get the same setup: crew on site, presses running, apparel and hats made in front of guests. Riverfront summer weekends and Arena District show nights are on our page for live printing for Columbus festivals. Kickoffs at the Greater Columbus Convention Center and town halls on a Dublin or New Albany campus get live printing for Columbus corporate events.
