Live event printing
for St. Louis fans
Live printing for St. Louis, with DTF, a hat bar, embroidery and a screen press as equal stations: America's Center expos, Busch Stadium game days, Delmar Loop nights. We print the merch on site, and a Cardinal-red crowd gathers to watch it happen.
St. Louis shows up. It's a baseball town with a brewing heritage and a soft spot for watching things get made right. We set up a live station at an America's Center expo, an Enterprise Center suite or a Delmar Loop venue, and your guests leave with a piece they watched come off the press, still warm. That's the merch that doesn't end up in the donate pile.
How it works
Four moves from
booked to printing
Talk it through
Send the date, the venue and a headcount. The itemized quote, travel included, comes back within 24 hours.
Lock the artwork
We proof the designs and lock blank counts about a week out, before anything ships to Missouri.
Setup, handled
The gear arrives by freight and the crew lands a day early, so the station is built and test-printed before doors.
Ink hits shirts
Guests pick a design and watch it made. About two minutes later they're wearing it.
Live stations
How we print
live in St. Louis
Pick one station or pair two. Live screen printing in St. Louis is the call for one design going to a big game-day crowd, and the rest of our live event printing stations handle names, caps and stitching.

Why live
Most swag ends up in a drawer.
A print made in front of you gets worn.
A box of pre-printed shirts sits under the booth table. A press that's running pulls people over, they wait a couple of minutes, and the shirt means more because they saw it made.
That's the whole case for a live station at an America's Center booth or a brewery hall in Soulard. People remember the moment, then they wear the shirt.

Questions
The practical stuff
Most St. Louis events land between $5K and $15K all-in. Headcount, print hours, the blanks you pick and how many stations you run decide where you fall. Travel from Fullerton is one fixed line that doesn't grow with the guest list, and the itemized quote reaches you within 24 hours.
Up to 60 an hour on one press. The standard setup is two presses with a printer on each, which clears 100+ an hour once the line settles, and each guest waits about two minutes. Here's how to size live printing for a St. Louis crowd.
About 10×10 ft per station and two dedicated 120V/20A circuits. We freight in the presses, ink, blanks and tables. At America's Center the electrical is ordered through the venue, so start that early. In a hotel ballroom it usually means making sure the circuit isn't shared with catering.
Six to ten weeks is the comfortable window for St. Louis. The gear travels from Fullerton as freight and the crew flies in a day ahead, so the shipping schedule sets the pace. A closer date is still worth a call; simple art and standard blanks are what make it possible. Date changes go easiest with two weeks' notice.
No. Live t-shirt printing anchors most events, but we also run full-color DTF, a patch hat bar, live embroidery, and totes and drinkware. One tee station plus one add-on is a common St. Louis setup.
Yes, across Greater St. Louis: Clayton, St. Charles, Chesterfield and across the river to Belleville and the Metro East. We're based in Fullerton, CA, so the presses ship ahead as freight and the crew flies in. Travel and lodging show up on your quote as one line.
Yes. A booth at America's Center is one of the best spots for a live press, because the aisle keeps feeding the line all day. We build the station inside your booth, work to the show's move-in schedule and print shirts, hats or totes while attendees watch.
The crew, presses and dryers, blanks across the size run, freight and travel, setup and teardown, and every piece printed during your event window. Sales kickoffs, sponsor activations and private parties all get the same itemized quote.
America's Center and The Dome, events around Enterprise Center and Busch Stadium, Stifel Theatre, Union Station, hotel ballrooms and brewery halls. Downtown, the Loop, the Central West End and Soulard are all on the same quote. Kickoffs and conferences get live printing for St. Louis corporate events, timed to your breaks. Forest Park and Soulard street dates get live printing for St. Louis festivals, with the generator drop planned ahead.
