Custom merch,
made live in the Big Easy
From New Orleans convention-center expos to courtyard parties in the Quarter, our crew prints custom shirts, hats, and embroidery on-site — DTF, patches, and stitching happening live while the band plays.
This is a city that turns everything into a parade, and the merch should keep up. Our crew sets up a working print line wherever the celebration lands — an expo hall on the convention corridor, a Warehouse District loft, a courtyard off Royal Street — and hands guests shirts, hats, and embroidery about two minutes after they order. Summer humidity doesn't slow the gear; rain just moves the station inside.

Questions
Good to know
Plan on $5K–$15K for a typical New Orleans event, depending on guest count, hours, and what you're printing on. One itemized number covers crew, equipment, garments, and every print — quoted within one business day.
About two minutes per shirt, and the standard rig — two presses, two printers — keeps 100+ shirts an hour moving even when the line wraps the booth.
Each station needs a 10×10 ft footprint and a pair of standard 120V circuits for flash dryers. Presses, ink, garments, tables, and crew all come with us; courtyards and ballrooms both work.
The sweet spot is two to four weeks ahead. Gear stays staged year-round, and we've covered New Orleans dates on under a week's notice — tight dates are worth a call.
Shirts are the start — we also press patches onto hats, embroider on-site, and customize totes and drinkware. Most events run a tee line plus one upgrade station.
Yes — the whole Gulf South is in range, Metairie and Kenner to Baton Rouge and Slidell. We arrive from Fullerton, CA with all our gear; travel and lodging fold into one flat price.
Yes — convention work anchors our New Orleans calendar. We build the print station into your booth or ballroom and hand attendees merch made on the spot, all day.
The quote covers the full operation: crew, presses, garments, art prep, setup, teardown, and every print pulled during your event window.
Every scale New Orleans hosts — Morial Convention Center halls, Superdome and Smoothie King Center event spaces, Mardi Gras World, hotel ballrooms, and Quarter courtyards. We print live at conventions, festivals, and activations across the French Quarter, Warehouse District, and Garden District.
