A Fort Worth quote has five parts: crew, press time, garments, setup and teardown, and travel. We're 1,190 miles out, so the presses ship as freight and the crew flies in. Travel is a real line, but it's flat and doesn't climb with your guest count.
What your quote includes
| Included | What it means |
|---|---|
| Crew | Trained printers who keep the queue moving and the sizes sorted. |
| Equipment | Presses, flash dryers, heat presses, ink and tables, freighted in from Fullerton and built at your venue. |
| Garments | Blanks from XS through 4XL, ordered to your headcount so nobody gets turned away. |
| Setup & teardown | Load-in, build, test print and pack-out, timed to your run-of-show. |
| Every print | All the printing during your window. No per-shirt charge added afterward. |
What moves the number
- Guests and volume: more pieces means more press time, more blanks, and maybe another station.
- Hours: a two-hour Sundance Square reception and a full show day at the Fort Worth Convention Center are different quotes.
- Garments: a tee, a heavyweight hoodie and a patched cap each carry a different blank cost.
- Methods: embroidery or a hat bar next to the press adds gear and an operator.
- Travel: flights, lodging and freight as one flat line.
Most Fort Worth events land between $5,000 and $15,000 all-in.
Each line on a Fort Worth quote stands on its own, so you can move any of them. If the total needs to drop, the garment and the station hours are the big levers. A shorter window at Dickies Arena or a simpler blank moves the number more than trimming the guest list. Send your date and headcount and we'll price the room you've actually got.
