Somebody is always flying into Orlando for a show floor, an incentive trip, or a tournament, and the event calendar here has no off-season. We drop a live print line into the middle of it: DTF printers, a hat bar, and embroidery running in your booth at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, an I-Drive ballroom, or a Lake Nona campus, finishing each guest's piece in about two minutes while attendees watch. An afternoon thunderstorm just means we print in the ballroom.

We roll in & set up

The gear lands at your dock and the crew flies in the day before to build and test the station.

We print it live

Why live

Merch is forgettable.
Watching it get made isn't.

Orlando visitors go home with bags of giveaways from the show floor and the parks, and most of it never gets used. A press running in the room is different. People stop, pick the design, watch it get pulled and put it on before they leave.

Questions

Good to know

Most Orlando bookings come in between $5K and $15K. Attendee count, hours on the floor and garment choice set the price, and the quote lists crew, equipment, garments, travel and every print separately.

About 60 an hour per press, and 100+ an hour from our standard two-press, two-printer station. That keeps a convention booth or party line moving, and each guest waits roughly two minutes for their shirt. Here's how to size a live printing station for an Orlando crowd.

Reserve a 10-by-10 space per station plus two dedicated 120V outlets to run the flash dryers. We arrive with presses, ink, garments, tables, and crew — ballroom, booth, or lawn, it all runs fine.

Six to ten weeks. We're 2,179 straight-line miles away in Fullerton, the gear goes ahead as freight and the crew flies in a day early, so the booking is set by freight and flights. A date change needs two weeks' notice. Closer dates are worth asking about.

No. Live t-shirt printing is where most Orlando setups start, but hats get pressed patches, embroidery runs on site, and totes and drinkware take prints too. Plenty of events here pair a tee station with one of those.

Yes, anywhere in Central Florida, from Kissimmee and the parks up to Sanford. We come from Fullerton, CA: the gear ships as freight and the crew flies in. Travel shows up as its own line on the quote.

Conventions are our bread and butter in Orlando. The station fits inside a standard booth, and attendees walk the hall in merch printed while they waited.

Presses, crew, garments, artwork prep, load-in and load-out, plus every print during your window. It all comes on one itemized quote, for a sponsor activation, an incentive event or a private party.

Convention halls, stadium concourses, resort ballrooms and private event spaces: trade shows, corporate gatherings, festival weekends and brand activations across International Drive, Downtown Orlando and Lake Nona. For outdoor shows, see live printing for Orlando festivals, and for resort meetings, live printing for Orlando corporate events.
