Products and blanks
Inventory planned against your headcount — size curves, brand tiers, and colorways ordered to spec so you're not warehousing overruns afterward.
Onsite t-shirt printing for events
Onsite t-shirt printing, live, right where your guests are.
A production cell — equipment, apparel stock, and trained staff — deployed to your office, conference, or campus, turning blanks into finished shirts the same day they're needed.
Merch Troop delivers it as a managed service — one vendor, one point of contact, one invoice covering gear, stock, and staff.
A print station built for the room
One vendor for the products, the printing, and the people who run it.
Coordinating an apparel supplier, a print shop, and temp staffing means three contracts and three points of failure. Consolidating them into one on-site operation removes the shipping step, shortens lead time, and ends the leftover-box problem — production happens where the people are.

Frequently asked
Common onsite t-shirt printing questions.
How much does onsite t-shirt printing cost?
Treat the quote as a scoped engagement rather than a per-shirt rate: production hours, staffing, garment costs, art setup, and any travel or freight roll into one number. When comparing vendors, verify each bid includes setup, teardown, and the crew — not just the printing.
How fast is onsite t-shirt printing at an event?
For quantity planning, figure dozens of finished pieces per station per hour and scale stations to your headcount and window. Output holds when the product menu stays tight and distribution is organized — both get locked during the planning phase.
Where does Merch Troop travel for onsite t-shirt printing?
Deployments run out of Southern California, with Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas on the regular route. Multi-city and national programs are workable given adequate lead time for logistics.
