Formats

Six formats. One live experience.

Every activation we run is built from these six live production formats. Book one as a focused experience or combine two or three into a merch midway your guests can wander.

The right format depends on three things: what you want guests to walk away holding, how many of them there are, and how much spectacle you want at the booth. Screen printing is the showpiece — loud, fast, and theatrical, moving up to 60 pieces an hour per press. DTF is the personalization engine, putting individual names and full-color art on garments without slowing the line. Hat bars and embroidery trade raw speed for a premium, boutique feel, while UV DTF and laser engraving extend the experience beyond apparel into bottles, tumblers, and gear people use daily.

Our standard crew is two printers running two stations, and every format below scales up from there. All of them arrive road-cased, crewed, and dressed to match your campaign — the only thing the venue needs to provide is standard wall power. Not sure which way to go? Describe the event in the activation brief and we’ll spec the lineup for you, or compare costs on the pricing page.
