Dallas live event printing FAQ

Most Dallas events land between $5,000 and $15,000, and staffed activations start around $5,000. The number moves with guest count, hours of live production, how many stations you want and what the blanks cost. Travel from California is quoted as its own line so you can see it. You get one itemized quote within a business day.

No. Merch Troop is based in La Habra, California. We travel to DFW with the equipment and a trained crew, and we quote the trip door to door. You are not paying for a subcontractor with our name on a shirt.

A single DTF press runs 60 or more shirts an hour and two presses clear 100. Engraving and embroidery are slower, a few minutes per piece, so for big rooms we pair them with a faster station or pre-produce the base item and add the name live.

A 10 x 10 ft space per station and standard 120V power, usually two circuits. We bring presses, lasers, tables, blanks and crew. At the convention center we work from your booth's electrical order. Outdoors we need level ground and we bring the tent.

Four to six weeks is comfortable. September and October fill first because of the State Fair and football. If your date is closer than that, call. Simple art on standard blanks can turn fast.

Yes, and most Dallas clients do. DTF handles tees, hoodies and totes. UV DTF goes on tumblers and hard goods. Lasers engrave names on drinkware and leather. The embroidery machines stitch caps and quarter-zips, and the patch bar lets guests build their own hat.

All of it. Fort Worth, Arlington, Irving, Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Addison and Richardson are quoted the same as Dallas proper. The trip is priced to the Metroplex, not to a zip code.

Brands on our client list include Riot Games, Sony, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, Xbox, FIFA World Cup, Gap, Foot Locker, Rivian and Live Nation. Ask and we'll walk you through a build close to yours.
