Leftover boxes
Print to actual demand at the table. No cartons of unclaimed XLs going into a closet after the event.
Mobile merch operation, delivered to your door
On-site merch printing that rolls into your venue and prints live.
Merch Troop packs the presses, the blanks, and a trained crew into the truck, maps your load-in, and turns a corner of your event into a working merch line. Guests watch their shirt, hat, or tote get made and walk away wearing it.
Full-color DTF heat pressing, embroidery, patch application, and hard-goods — powered, staffed, and produced on the floor.

Why bring it on-site
Printing at the venue beats shipping boxes of guessed sizes.
Pre-ordered merch means committing to counts and sizes weeks out, eating the leftovers, and hoping the design lands. An on-site line flips that: guests pick their size and style at the table, we print it in front of them, and you leave with zero dead inventory.
Pieces per press / hr
A staffed DTF station keeps a steady line moving. Add presses and pre-staged transfers to scale for bigger crowds.
Crew that handles it all
Load-in, power, operation, and teardown are ours. You point us at the space; we run the station end to end.
The load-in playbook
How a Merch Troop station comes together on-site.
Walk-through & power check
Before the date we confirm the footprint, the circuits, the load-in path, and whether it is stairs, a dock, or a straight roll. Surprises get solved on paper, not on show day.
Roll in & build the station
Carts, tables, presses, and blank inventory come off the truck on a timed schedule and the station is built to guest-flow, not just plopped in a corner.
Print live at the table
Guests choose a garment and design from a clean menu, an operator presses it, it hits the cool rack, and it is handed back finished. The line stays orderly.
Teardown & load-out
When the event winds down we break the station, clear the space, and roll out — leaving the venue the way we found it.

Answers up front
What planners ask before they book on-site.
What does on-site merch printing need from my venue?
A roughly 10×10 to 20×20 footprint per station, one or two standard 20-amp circuits per press, a load-in path we can roll carts down, and a rough guest count. We confirm all of it in a walk-through before the date so nothing is a surprise on show day.
How many pieces can you print per hour on-site?
A single staffed DTF press typically finishes 40 to 70 garments an hour depending on how many placements each piece gets and how the line flows. We scale throughput by adding presses and pre-staging transfers, so your expected line size drives the station plan.
Do you travel outside Orange County?
Yes. We are based in Orange County and cover Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas routinely, plus nationwide programs with enough lead time. A travel fee applies once you are outside the OC, LA, and SD radius.
