Start with the guest path
The right onsite t-shirt printing setup starts with the line, not the machine. Decide where guests enter, where they choose the art, where the crew produces the item, and where finished merch leaves the table.
Choose products that match the method
t-shirts, long sleeves, hoodies, crewnecks, tanks, staff tees can all work, but the event should focus on a small menu that can be produced cleanly.
Give artwork time
venue layout, artwork prep, blank inventory, operator staffing should happen before the venue load-in whenever possible.
