Proof it works
How real teams ran their live merch.
A few representative programs, with the details planners actually ask about: headcount, pieces, how many stations, and how the day flowed. Names are kept general, but the setups are real.

Holiday party
A ~180-person year-end party in Costa Mesa.
A software company wanted the holiday party to feel like more than a dinner. We set two DTF stations near the entrance with a menu of branded hoodies and beanies. Guests picked a size on arrival and had a warm piece by the time the first course was served.
The setup: two stations, three operators, a three-hour window, hoodie and beanie blanks, and a single-color company mark plus a fun holiday variant. Local, so no travel fee. The line never ran more than a few minutes deep.
Team retreat
A 60-person offsite in the desert.
A smaller team on a two-day retreat wanted keepsake merch without the pre-order hassle. One station, one operator, a relaxed afternoon window, and a cap-and-patch bar so everyone left with a Richardson 112 carrying the retreat logo.
Because it was outside the core service area, the quote included the $900 travel line — flagged up front, no surprises.
Onboarding day
Monthly new-hire welcome station.
An expanding company runs onboarding cohorts every few weeks. Instead of mailing welcome kits that sat in the wrong sizes, they booked a recurring station: each new hire builds their own welcome tee and tote during orientation. It turned a logistics chore into a first-day highlight.
The setup: one station on a repeating schedule, a compact art menu tied to the brand kit, and quick turnaround so a cohort of a dozen was fully outfitted inside the orientation block.
Straight answers
Questions we hear a lot
Can you run a recurring station, not just one event?
Yes. Several clients book us on a repeating cadence — monthly onboarding, quarterly all-hands — with a standing art kit so each session is turnkey. It is quoted per session with a rhythm that fits your calendar.
Will our activation be photographed for our own recap?
The station is built to look good on camera, and you are welcome to shoot it for internal recaps and social. The working booth and the line are usually the most photographed part of the event.
