Live Printing & On-Site Brand Activations in Seattle
Planning a Seattle activation
Seattle is a company event town, with some of the largest employers in the country and a conference calendar to match. Here is how we run events here.
Company events and campuses
A lot of Seattle work is internal: all hands, product milestones, team offsites and campus events. These want the setup to feel like part of the company, and every station can be fully white label and unbranded. Guests order on a tablet, personalize their piece and get a text when it is ready, so a campus crowd never turns into a line.
Conferences downtown
Conference work in Seattle means dock windows, labor rules and fire marshal signoff, and we handle those with the venue and your exhibit house before load in. Our platform runs every station from one live inventory pool and puts the whole activation on a live dashboard for your team.
Rain, and the venues that ignore it
Outdoor events here plan for weather by default, and so do we: covered stations, protected equipment and a load in that does not depend on a dry hour. Indoors, from Capitol Hill venues to the waterfront, we size the station to the room.
The Puget Sound, one quote
Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Tacoma and Everett are one market to us, and our Northwest crews cover Portland too. Every quote is all in: no travel fees, no hotel line items, no equipment shipping.
Questions we get about Seattle
Can you run an activation on a company campus?
Yes. Campus and internal events are a big part of our Seattle work. We coordinate access and load in with your facilities team and keep the station fully white label.
Do you cover Bellevue and the Eastside?
Yes. The whole Puget Sound region is one market for us, with the same crews, equipment and all in pricing.
Do you charge travel to Seattle?
No. Every quote is all in. Travel, hotels and equipment shipping are never line items.
Can the activation be unbranded?
Yes. Every station can be fully white label, with your branding on everything and ours on nothing.
How many guests can a Seattle activation handle?
From a small team event to a multi day conference program. Our own platform runs every station and has pushed more than 2,000 personalized orders through a single three day activation.
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 Seattle 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.
