Why live
Merch is forgettable.
Watching it get made isn't.
A pile of pre-printed shirts on a table is swag. A press turning out a custom shirt while you watch is an experience — and the shirt that comes off it is one your OC guests actually keep and wear.
- A real activity, not a giveaway table — guests do something
- A content engine — the press is what everyone films
- Print-on-demand — only what guests want, in their size
- Your brand, all over the event by the end of the night
Hometown advantage
We're not "available in" OC.
We live here.
Merch Troop's shop is in Fullerton — minutes up the 5 from most of Orange County. That closeness is the whole pitch: gear's already nearby, the drive is short, and your date doesn't compete with a cross-country crew's calendar.
- No travel fee in OCAnaheim to San Clemente, the drive's on us.
- Same-week rushGear stays staged — we've turned events in under a week.
- A local you can callOne Fullerton-based crew, start to finish — no franchise hand-off.

Questions
Good to know
Most Orange County events land between $5K and $15K all-in. The big levers are guest count, printing hours, garments, and setup. Your quote covers crew, presses, garments, setup and teardown, and every print — one itemized number, sent within 24 hours.
Each press turns out up to 60 shirts per hour, and our standard setup runs two presses with two printers — so a typical event clears 100+ shirts per hour at full tilt. A single shirt takes about two minutes.
Roughly a 10×10 ft footprint per station and two standard 120V circuits for the flash dryers. We bring the presses, ink, garments, tables, and crew. Indoors or outdoors both work.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events. We keep gear staged and have turned Orange County events around in under a week, so if your date is soon, ask anyway.
No — we also run live DTF, a live hat bar, embroidery, and hard goods like totes and drinkware. Most events run a core tee plus one upgrade station.
