A New York job moves in four stages. We lock the art and the blanks, freight the gear across the country, build the station before doors, and then print for your guests while they wait. Each guest waits about two minutes from pick to hand-off.
- Brief and proof. You send the logo, the date, the building and a rough headcount. We proof the art, pick blanks across XS–4XL, and ask for final art about a week out so the blank order can lock.
- Freight east. Presses, dryers and road cases leave our La Habra shop by freight, and the crew flies in a day ahead. At Javits Center that means a dock time and a drayage slot. In a SoHo loft it usually means a freight elevator booking and someone to open the door early.
- Build and test. Each station takes about 10×10 ft and two dedicated 120V/20A circuits. We pull test prints on the real blanks before the first guest walks up.
- Print live. A guest picks a size and a design, watches the pull, and leaves with it warm. One press runs up to 60 shirts an hour, and the standard two-press build clears 100+.
What changes from building to building
The press doesn't care which borough it's in. The building does. A Midtown hotel ballroom wants the station clear of the service corridor, a Williamsburg warehouse might give you a roll-up door and no elevator at all, and a Javits hall runs on the show's move-in schedule. Send us the exhibitor manual or house rules early and we plan inside them. Tell us about your event and we'll map the setup to your room.
