Station package
The base cost of a staffed station — equipment, supplies, and the crew to run it. This is the anchor line, starting around $5,000 for a local single-station evening.
What drives the number
Corporate event printing pricing
Every quote is built for the specific event, but the math is transparent. Here is exactly what moves the price so you can budget before you ever call — no mystery, no per-piece surprises at the end of the night.
Local starting point
from $5,000
A single staffed live-printing station for a local Southern California corporate event, including operators, equipment, setup, and teardown. Blanks and artwork are quoted on top based on what your team picks.
The five inputs
What your quote is built from
Hours & staffing
Staffing runs $250 per hour and covers setup, live operation, breaks, and teardown. A longer party or a second station adds hours; we scope this to your window so nobody stands idle.
Headcount & blanks
Garment cost scales with guest count and what they choose — a Bella+Canvas 3001 tee prices differently than a Richardson 112 cap or an embroidered polo. We estimate consumption from your headcount so you're not guessing.
Artwork prep
Turning your brand assets into press-ready transfers, digitizing logos for embroidery, and building the guest design menu. Clean vector files keep this light; we flag anything that needs redraw work early.
Travel
Events in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego carry no travel fee. A flat $900 travel fee applies to events outside that radius; nationwide programs are quoted with lodging and freight folded in.
Why we quote instead of listing a menu
A generic per-shirt price table would either overcharge a 100-person retreat or undercut a 600-guest holiday party. By scoping the station count, hours, and blanks to your actual event, the number reflects what you're really buying — and you can compare it line by line. Send the date, city, headcount, and target pieces and you'll have a real figure fast.
