Live Printing & On-Site Brand Activations in Orange County
Planning an Orange County activation
Orange County is really four event markets sharing a freeway: the Anaheim convention district, the Irvine campuses, the South Coast retail corridor and the beach towns. Here is how we run them.
Anaheim conventions and arenas
We have printed at the Orange County convention center in Anaheim, and the show floor playbook here is the one every big hall needs: booth drawings, show schedule, drayage, power orders and fire marshal signoff, coordinated with your exhibit house. The Honda Center and Angel Stadium next door bring sponsor nights and game days where guests order on a tablet and come back when their piece is ready.
Corporate campuses in Irvine
Sales kickoffs, all hands days and summer picnics on a corporate campus are a sweet spot for live printing. Embroidery and laser engraving fit an office setting, every piece goes home personalized, and the station never pulls anyone out of the program.
Retail and resorts along the coast
South Coast Plaza, Fashion Island and the storefronts of Huntington Beach are built for in store activations, and the Newport and Huntington resorts host incentive trips and brand weekends on the water. We have brought retail activations across Southern California and the premium formats, monogram embroidery, engraved leather and hand applied patches, fit the setting.
One regional crew, one quote
We keep crews and equipment in the Southern California region, so Orange County is a short drive rather than a trip. Every Orange County quote is all in: no travel fees, no hotel line items, no equipment shipping.
Questions we get about Orange County
Can you print inside our Anaheim Convention Center booth?
Yes. Send 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 Orange County?
No. Our quotes are all in. Travel, hotels and equipment shipping are not line items, in Orange County or anywhere else.
Can you set up on the beach in Huntington or Newport?
Yes. We bring weighted tents, power, and wind and heat plans, and choose equipment that runs well outdoors.
What works best for a corporate campus event in Irvine?
Embroidery and laser engraving. They are quiet, fit an office setting, and every piece is personalized with a name or team.
How far out should we book?
A few weeks is comfortable, but ask about short notice dates. Regional crews make a lot of tight timelines possible.
Where we work in Orange County
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.
Embroidery Activation
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!
Laser Engraving Activation
Transform your event with the art of on-site laser engraving, leaving a lasting impression with your guests. Laser engraving pairs well with promo products like tumblers, keychains, wood objects, or an array of other items. Engrave intricate designs and messages, ensuring your event stands out.
Hand Jet Activation
Our hand jet guns are just cool...period! Guest always love to watch them decorate apparel like a magic wand tickering it's way accross the garment.

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 Orange County runs on the identical ordering platform and live client dashboard as one in Chicago or Las Vegas. Same crews, same equipment, same software.
Tons of product options

CHECK OUT OUR FAVORITE
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
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.
