Live printing that
lights the beam
On-site printing for SAFE Credit Union Convention Center association summits, Capitol advocacy days, and Golden 1 Center nights — a working press the farm-to-fork capital gathers around.
As California's capital, Sacramento fills with association summits and advocacy crowds who've seen every tote bag twice, so a press making merch live actually lands. Merch Troop sets up at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center or a Golden 1 Center activation and prints on the spot. Guests leave in something purple and warm off the platen, lit up like the beam after a Kings win.

Why live
Merch is forgettable.
Watching it get made isn't.
A pile of pre-printed shirts on a table is swag. A press turning out a custom shirt while you watch is an experience — and the shirt that comes off it is one your Sacramento guests actually keep and wear.
- A real activity, not a giveaway table — guests do something
- A content engine — the press is what everyone films
- Print-on-demand — only what guests want, in their size
- Your brand, all over the event by the end of the night

Questions
Good to know
Most Sacramento events land between $5K and $15K all-in. The big levers are guest count, printing hours, garments, and setup. Your quote covers crew, presses, garments, setup and teardown, and every print — one itemized number, sent within 24 hours.
Each press turns out up to 60 shirts per hour, and our standard setup runs two presses with two printers — so a typical event clears 100+ shirts per hour at full tilt. A single shirt takes about two minutes.
Roughly a 10×10 ft footprint per station and two standard 120V circuits for the flash dryers. We bring the presses, ink, garments, tables, and crew. Indoors or outdoors both work.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. We keep gear staged and have turned Sacramento events around in under a week, so if your date is soon, ask anyway.
No — we also run live DTF, a live hat bar, embroidery, and hard goods like totes and drinkware. Most events run a core tee plus one upgrade station.
Sacramento-region events handled end to end — travel and lodging folded into one clear number. We're based in Fullerton, CA and bring everything to your venue.
