If you need custom t-shirts for a Detroit event, we can print them on site while your guests watch. Your design and your colors, with about a two-minute wait per guest, anywhere in Metro Detroit.
Why print the tees at the event
A box of shirts from a warehouse shows up, gets stacked on a table and mostly goes home unworn. A press at your auto-industry launch or your Detroit Auto Show booth works the other way around. Guests pick the size, watch their shirt get made and put it on, and that's the shirt that gets worn around town afterward.
What goes on the press
- Tees: soft tees in a full XS–4XL run, printed to order.
- Hoodies & crewnecks: the winter pick. From November into March, a lot of Detroit orders are fleece.
- Caps: built by the guest at the live hat bar.
- Totes & hard goods: promo items for a crowd that already owns enough shirts.
Screen or DTF for your shirts
One design on a lot of shirts runs fastest on live screen printing. Full-color art, a photo or a name on each shirt goes to live DTF printing, which has no color limit. Send the art and we'll tell you which one it suits.
Worth knowing: the shirts, the presses and the crew all come from our Fullerton shop. The gear ships freight and the crew flies in a day early, so plan six to ten weeks out.

Detroit planning notes
Before the first shirt gets printed
We plan a Detroit tee station around the room: where the freight comes in, where the two circuits are, and where the line can form without blocking a door. On a Huntington Place show floor that's the aisle side of the booth. In a Corktown loft it's usually the middle of the room.
