On-site live printing activations in Dallas

We are your local activation experts! We've got crews and equipment hubs all over the country, so wherever your event lands we show up like the hometown team, and in Dallas everything's bigger, including the merch line. We roll in the full on-site studio and make merch right in front of your guests: live screen printing, embroidery, laser engraving, heat press, and hat and patch bars, all hot off the press. We've done a ton at AT&T Stadium, printed NFL games, and run activations for Mini, FIFA, and T-Mobile. We've thrown Lay's takeovers in Fort Worth's Sundance Square, brought retail activations to the Stockyards, and worked conventions at the Dallas Convention Center. And because every station can be fully white label and unbranded, most guests have no clue it's us. We're the quiet secret weapon behind a lot of the biggest brand activations out there. Basically, we're your brand's favorite band. You throw the party, our crew handles setup, staffing, and teardown, and everyone leaves with something they watched get made.

Planning a Dallas activation

Everything really is bigger in Dallas, including the venues, the drive between them and the crowd at the merch station. Here is how we handle it.

AT&T Stadium and game day

We have done a ton at AT&T Stadium and printed NFL games, which means credentialing, security sweeps, dock timing and a crowd of tens of thousands arriving in a single wave. Our platform was built for that wave: guests order on a tablet, every station pulls from one live inventory pool, and your team watches it all on a live dashboard.

Conventions downtown

We have worked conventions at the Dallas Convention Center, where drayage, union labor and fire marshal signoff are all part of the setup. We handle those with the building and your exhibit house so the only thing your booth staff think about is the people in front of them.

Fort Worth and the takeovers

We have thrown Lay's takeovers in Fort Worth's Sundance Square and brought retail activations to the Stockyards, and we have run activations for Mini, FIFA and T-Mobile across the metroplex. Outdoor plazas and historic districts have their own permitting and power realities, and we sort those ahead of load in.

The whole metroplex, one quote

Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco and Irving are one market to us. Crews and equipment are regional, and every quote is all in: no travel fees, no hotel line items, no equipment shipping.

Questions we get about Dallas

Can you work inside AT&T Stadium?

Yes. We have activated at AT&T Stadium many times and we handle credentialing, security requirements and dock timing with the venue ahead of the event.

Do you cover Fort Worth and the suburbs?

Yes. The whole DFW metroplex is one market for us, with the same crews, equipment and all in pricing.

Can you run an outdoor plaza event?

Yes. We have run takeovers in Sundance Square and the Stockyards and we plan for permits, power and Texas weather.

Do you charge travel to Dallas?

No. Every quote is all in. Travel, hotels and equipment shipping are never line items.

How many guests can a Dallas activation handle?

From a small corporate event to a stadium crowd. Our own platform runs every station and has pushed more than 2,000 personalized orders through a single three day activation.

Where we work in Dallas

Every part of town has its own venues, docks and crowds. Pick yours.

We have several
activation types

Screen Printing
Heat Press
Embroidery
Laser Engraving
Hand Jet

Screen Printing Activation

By far this is our most common activation type.  Screen printing fits a wide range of garments and print locations.  Guests LOVE the look of the spinning presses and the ability to see their shirts printed using this tried and true technique, plus the shirts are handed to them literally hot off the press!

Heat Press Activation

Heat pressing transfers on site is the perfect way to take your event to the next level and leave a lasting impression on your guests. Get ready to turn up the heat and create some seriously cool swag!  Transfers are perfect when you want to offer guests full color designs.  Also, transfers are super versatile and can go on a huge array of products. Heat press also powers our hat bar and patch bar activations. Set up a build your own hat bar where guests grab a cap and press on custom patches live and on-site, or run a patch bar where they personalize jackets, totes, and denim with iron on and embroidered patches. It is one of our most requested activations for brand events, festivals, and trade shows, and it pairs perfectly with a live screen printing or embroidery station.

The tech
behind the booth

We built our own software to run every event, from the first order to the final report.

Guests order on a tablet

Size, design, the name or initials they want on it. Two minutes at the screen, then they walk away and get a text when it is ready.

One live inventory pool

Every station pulls from the same stock. When a size runs low it greys out on every guest screen at once, so nothing runs out quietly.

Your event on a dashboard

Completed orders, queue depth, turnaround time and remaining inventory, live on your phone from anywhere in the building.

Built for scale

The same crews and platform handle a 200 person retreat and a multi day program with over 100,000 guests. We have pushed more than 2,000 personalized orders through one three day activation without a line forming.

Your activation in Dallas runs on the identical ordering platform and live client dashboard we use at every event nationwide. Same crews, same equipment, same software.

By printing on site at events we don't have any wasted merch. Traditionally if you order 1000 shirts for an event you might get stuff with a bunch of leftover event shirts that you can't do anything with. We can restock them since they're still blank. Or we can run an online store post event to help continue to sell that merch to other employees or guests around the world and we can fulfill it.
