Where the West begins:
live printing in Fort Worth
From Fort Worth Stockyards street parties to Dickies Arena hospitality suites and Sundance Square pop-ups, we bring live printing to you: DTF transfers, hat bars, live embroidery and screen presses, running fast enough to keep a Texas-sized line moving.
In Fort Worth, craft still counts. This is a city that runs longhorns down East Exchange Avenue twice a day and keeps working saddle shops a block off the tourist path, so a merch table stacked with boxes printed weeks ago feels thin here. We ship the equipment in and roll it straight into your venue, so event shirt printing in Fort Worth happens live on your floor, from DTF to live screen printing in Fort Worth. Guests pick a blank, watch the transfer hit the heat, and walk away wearing something made in front of them, at a Cultural District gala, a TCU tailgate lot, or a company night out at the Stockyards.

Why live
Anyone can hand out swag.
Making it on the spot is different.
A box of pre-printed shirts gets ignored. A press running in the room draws a crowd, because people want to watch their shirt get made and then wear it for the rest of the night.
In Fort Worth that looks like a patched cap at a Stockyards party, a sponsor tee on a Convention Center show day, or a monogram at a Cultural District gala. The piece means more because the guest saw it happen.

Questions
Good to know
Most Fort Worth bookings land between $5K and $15K all-in. Guest count, station hours and the garments you pick decide where yours falls. The quote covers crew, gear, blanks, setup, teardown, travel and every print, itemized and back to you inside 24 hours.
A guest waits about two minutes from blank to finished shirt. Each press does roughly 60 an hour, and our standard two-press station with two printers clears 100+ an hour at full pace. Here's how we plan live printing presses for a Fort Worth crowd.
About 10×10 ft per station and two 120V circuits. We bring the presses, ink, blanks, tables and crew. Convention halls, arena concourses, hotel ballrooms and Stockyards courtyards all work, and outdoors we need shade in the summer.
Six to eight weeks is comfortable. We're 1,190 miles away in Fullerton as the crow flies, so the presses ship as freight and the crew flies in, and Stock Show season and big rodeo weekends fill first. A closer date can still work with simple art and standard blanks, so call before you rule it out.
Yes. Live t-shirt printing is the workhorse, but we also run hat bars with patches, full-color DTF, live embroidery, and hard goods like totes, koozies and drinkware. Plenty of Fort Worth events pair a shirt station with one upgrade, and at Western events the hat bar usually wins.
Yes. We're based in Fullerton, CA, 1,190 miles away in a straight line, so the gear ships to Fort Worth as freight and the crew flies in. Flights, lodging and freight sit on the quote as one flat line, and once we're in town we can cover the rest of the metroplex, from Arlington to Dallas.
Yes, and most of it happens at the Fort Worth Convention Center. We set up the live printing booth inside your exhibit space or hall and print shirts, caps and merch for attendees while the floor is open. Send the move-in schedule early so the freight lands on time.
Staffing, presses and stations, blanks, load-in and load-out, travel, and every piece printed during your window. Corporate summits, sponsor lounges and private parties all get one itemized quote.
Our setup fits Fort Worth rooms of every size: Convention Center exhibit halls, Dickies Arena concourses, Will Rogers Memorial Center, Sundance Square plazas, hotel ballrooms and private ranch venues. We print at conventions, corporate events, festivals and brand activations across Downtown, the Stockyards, West 7th and the Cultural District. Outdoor stages and arena concerts have their own page for live printing for Fort Worth festivals. Convention Center conferences and downtown kickoffs get live printing for Fort Worth corporate events.
