On-site live printing activations in Las Vegas

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 Vegas the house always wins...but so do your guests. 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 printed the biggest shows in town, from AWS re:Invent and Ignite to F1 activations, and set up inside the Cosmo, Wynn, Venetian, Aria, MGM Grand, and the Las Vegas Convention Center more times than we can count. 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. What happens in Vegas goes home on their shirt. You throw the party, our crew handles setup, staffing, and teardown, and everyone leaves with something they watched get made.

Planning a Las Vegas activation

Las Vegas is a convention town first and a party town second, and a good activation here has to work on both clocks. Here is how we run them.

On the convention floor

Most of our Las Vegas work happens inside a booth: the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Venetian Expo, Mandalay Bay and the big hotel conference centers. We have set up inside the LVCC more times than we can count, and we plan around the parts that trip people up: drayage and the marshalling yard, union labor rules, fire marshal signoff on equipment, and the burst of traffic that hits every booth the minute a keynote lets out. Guests order on a tablet, keep walking the floor, and come back when their piece is ready, so the booth never turns into a line.

Inside the hotels

Ballrooms, pool decks, suites and private dinners at the Cosmopolitan, Wynn, Venetian, Aria and MGM Grand. Every hotel on the Strip has its own dock schedule, freight elevators and house rules, and we handle that side with the venue directly so it never lands on your plate. Every station can be fully white label and unbranded, which matters when the whole room is dressed as your brand.

The biggest weeks in town

We have printed some of the largest shows on the calendar here, including AWS re:Invent, Ignite and F1 activations. Programs like these run over several days and can pass 100,000 guests, with thousands of personalized orders moving through our stations. Our own ordering platform runs every station from one live inventory pool and puts the whole activation on a live dashboard, so a five day program in Las Vegas runs as smoothly as a 200 person dinner.

Nobody bills you for the flight

We keep crews and equipment hubs in every major US market, so no one is hauling a rig across the country to reach the Strip and no one is putting the trip on your quote. Every Las Vegas quote is all in: no travel fees, no hotel line items, no equipment shipping.

Questions we get about Las Vegas

Can you run live printing inside our trade show booth?

Yes. Most of our Las Vegas activations run inside exhibitor booths at the LVCC, the Venetian Expo and Mandalay Bay. We work from your booth drawings and the show schedule, and we coordinate drayage, labor and fire marshal requirements with your exhibit house.

Do you charge travel to Las Vegas?

No. Our quotes are all in. Travel, hotels and equipment shipping are not line items, in Las Vegas or anywhere else.

How many guests can a Las Vegas activation handle?

Anything from a 200 person dinner to a multi day convention program with over 100,000 guests. Our platform and crews are built for both, and we have pushed more than 2,000 personalized orders through a single three day activation.

Can the activation be unbranded?

Yes. Every station can be fully white label, with your branding on everything and ours on nothing.

Which activation types work best in Las Vegas?

Live screen printing for volume on the show floor, embroidery and laser engraving for premium hotel events, and hat and patch bars for pool and nightlife programs. Most large Las Vegas programs combine two or three.

Where we work in Las Vegas

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.

This process involves using specialized embroidery machines to stitch designs directly onto garments, creating a high-quality, professional look.  We utilize on site embroidery for events where guests need to have that truly custom option to personalize their fresh new swag!

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 Las Vegas 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.
