Custom T-Shirt Printing in Charlotte

Custom tees for a Charlotte event, printed on site in front of the people wearing them instead of boxed and shipped.

Want custom t-shirts for a Charlotte event? We print them at the event: your design, your colors, each one made in front of the guest, who waits about two minutes.

Printed in the room, not shipped in

A normal custom tee order in Charlotte means a file, a proof and boxes arriving days later in sizes somebody guessed. We ship the press instead. The station sets up at your Charlotte Convention Center booth or NASCAR Hall of Fame event, guests pick a size, and the shirt they leave with is the one they chose.

What we can print

Screen or DTF for a custom tee?

For one bold design on a lot of shirts, live screen printing is the fastest and cheapest per piece. For full-color art, photos or a name on each shirt, live DTF printing has no color limit and needs no screens. Send the art and we'll tell you which it suits.

Why print it live: no warehouse wait and no guessing sizes weeks out. Guests keep a shirt they watched being made, and that's the one they wear around Charlotte afterward.

What we check before the freight ships

For a custom tee job in Charlotte we check the load-in, the power, where the line forms and where guests pick a size before the press. A Convention Center booth, an Uptown reception and a South End taproom each answer those differently.

Everything comes from our Fullerton shop: presses, flash dryers, heat presses, blanks, tables, signage and the printers. It ships freight to Charlotte and the crew lands a day early. A standard station needs about 10x10 ft and two 120V circuits, and two presses clear 100+ shirts an hour with a simple design menu.

Charlotte event quote

Tell us about your Charlotte event.

Start with the date, the venue and a rough headcount. For Charlotte the date matters most, because the presses travel by freight from Fullerton and the crew books flights around your load-in. The quote comes back with presses, crew, blanks and travel on separate lines.

Send the basics and we will reply with the right live-printing setup.

Bring a press to Charlotte

A date and a headcount are enough to start. The Charlotte quote comes back itemized, with freight and crew travel on their own line.
