Most live printing events in St. Louis come in between $5,000 and $15,000 all-in. Headcount, hours, blanks and the number of stations decide where you fall. Travel is a fixed line of its own: the presses ship from Fullerton as freight and the crew flies in ahead of load-in.
What drives the price in St. Louis
- Guests and volume. More people means more blanks and more press time, and past a point a second press and printer.
- Hours. A two-hour cocktail reception in the Central West End costs less than a full show day in an America's Center booth.
- Garments. A basic tee, a retail-fit shirt and a heavyweight hoodie for a January event are priced very differently.
- Stations and methods. Adding a hat bar or a second press adds output and adds cost.
Travel doesn't grow with your guest list, so the cost per shirt drops as the event gets bigger. A 600-person activation at America's Center doesn't cost twice what a 300-person one does. For a real figure, send your date, venue and headcount. To see each line of the quote explained, read how our pricing works.
