Live event printing
in Salt Lake City, pressed on site
Between a Salt Palace show floor, a Silicon Slopes launch party, and a resort offsite up the canyon, your Salt Lake City event deserves better than boxed swag. We bring live printing to the venue, with DTF, a hat bar, embroidery and screen presses, and make custom merch while your guests watch.
A lot of Salt Lake City events are built around gear: outdoor brands on the Salt Palace floor, tech teams from the Silicon Slopes, ski-season offsites up the canyons. A running press fits that crowd. Guests pick the design, watch it go down, and leave wearing it, whether the station is on a show floor downtown or in a lodge up Little Cottonwood.
How it works
Four steps from booking
to fresh prints
Tell us about it
Send the date, the venue and a rough headcount. A Salt Palace booth number or a Park City lodge name is enough to start, and the itemized quote comes back within 24 hours.
We dial in the art
We proof your artwork and lock it about a week out, so screens, transfers and patches are packed in Fullerton before the truck leaves.
We roll in & set up
Salt Lake City is 580 straight-line miles from our shop, so the presses come up by truck and the crew builds the station the day before your doors.
We print it live
Guests pick a size and a design and watch it get made in about two minutes, then wear it out the door.
Live stations
Ways we print
live in Salt Lake City
Five stations make up our live event printing kit. Live screen printing in Salt Lake City suits a busy Salt Palace aisle, and caps or stitching suit a lodge offsite.
Live Screen Printing
One design pulled on a real press, shirt after shirt. The build for a Salt Palace show day with a steady aisle.
ExploreLive DTF Printing
Full-color art pressed while the guest waits, with a name or a team on each piece. Good for launch parties.
ExploreLive Hat Bar
Guests choose a cap and a patch and we press it on. Beanies earn their spot at a winter offsite.
ExploreLive Embroidery
Logos and names stitched on site for a leadership dinner or a sponsor lounge that wants a slower, nicer piece.
ExplorePromo & Hard Goods
Totes, bottles and drinkware customized live for a crowd that already owns plenty of event tees.

Why live
Merch is forgettable.
Watching it get made isn't.
A stack of pre-printed shirts at a Salt Palace booth gets picked over and forgotten. A press running in the same spot pulls people out of the aisle, and each of them spends a couple of minutes with your team while their shirt is made.
The same thing happens at a Delta Center hospitality night or a lodge after a ski day. People stop for something being made in front of them.

Questions
Good to know
Most Salt Lake City events land between $5K and $15K all-in. Headcount, hours on site, garments and the number of stations move it most. Travel and lodging from our Fullerton shop sit on their own line of the itemized quote, which comes back within 24 hours.
Each press paces up to 60 shirts an hour, and our standard station of two presses and two printers moves 100+ an hour. Each guest waits about two minutes between picking a design and wearing it. Hoodies for a winter offsite run slower than summer tees. Here's how to size live printing for a Salt Lake City crowd.
About 10×10 ft of floor per station and two dedicated 120V/20A circuits. At the Salt Palace Convention Center the electrical is ordered through the venue ahead of the show. We bring presses, ink, garments, tables and crew.
Four to six weeks is comfortable for a Salt Lake City date, and two weeks is usually workable. The presses come up the I-15 by truck and art locks about a week out. If a big Salt Palace show is on your week, book early, because hotels and labor tighten.
No. Live t-shirt printing is where most Salt Lake City setups start, but DTF, a hat bar, live embroidery and hard goods like totes and drinkware all run live too. A winter crowd often wants beanies and hoodies more than tees.
Yes, anywhere on the Wasatch Front and up into the ski towns. Home base is Fullerton, CA, 580 miles away in a straight line, so the presses come up by truck and the crew sets up the day before. Travel and lodging appear as their own line on your quote.
Yes. A working press gives a Salt Palace booth something to watch and keeps the aisle in front of it busy. Send the booth number and show dates and we'll plan around the marshalling schedule and the electrical order.
Crew, presses and equipment, garments in XS–4XL, setup and teardown, and every piece printed during your event window. Travel is its own line. It all comes on one itemized quote.
Anywhere with floor space and power: the Salt Palace Convention Center, Delta Center, the Mountain America Expo Center, hotel ballrooms, resort lodges and private spaces. We plan events downtown, at The Gateway, in Sugar House, on the University of Utah campus, in Sandy and up in Park City. Outdoor stages and summer shows have their own page: live printing for Salt Lake City festivals. Company conferences and offsites have one too: live printing for Salt Lake City corporate events.
