Live Event Apparel in Detroit, Screen Press Included

Live event printing for Detroit events, with a screen press running next to DTF, a hat bar and embroidery, all in front of your guests.

Need screen printing for a Detroit event? The screen press is one of five live stations we bring, next to DTF, a hat bar, embroidery and promo goods. Real ink, pulled on site in front of your guests.

Screen printing at your Detroit event

A regular print shop takes your file and hands back boxes. Live screen printing puts the press in your venue and runs it in front of the crowd, so the printing becomes part of the event. It suits auto-industry launches, Detroit Auto Show activations and Eastern Market pop-ups.

What we screen print live

Where we set up

Anywhere in Metro Detroit, from Huntington Place to Little Caesars Arena. Each press turns out up to 60 shirts an hour, and a standard two-press station clears 100+. The screens are made in Fullerton before the freight ships, so the art locks about a week out.

Quick estimate: send the headcount and the hours and we'll size the press setup to your venue, with an itemized quote in 24 hours.

Detroit planning notes

Running a screen press in a Detroit venue

A two-press station needs about 10×10 ft and two dedicated 120V circuits for the flash dryers. At Huntington Place the electrical is ordered through the venue before the show; in a hotel ballroom we just need a circuit that isn't shared with catering.
