Quote-based, and here's exactly why
What a t-shirt printing booth costs.
There's no flat sticker because a two-hour office happy hour and a nine-hour festival are different animals. Pricing comes down to five levers: run time, crew, garments, artwork, and travel. Here's how each one moves the number.

The five levers
What actually moves the quote.
Hours on the clock
Staffing is billed at $250/hr and covers setup, live printing, breaks, and teardown — not just the doors-open window. A longer event or a big pre-build of transfers adds hours.
Blanks & sizes
A soft Bella+Canvas 3001 costs more than a Gildan workhorse; hoodies more than tees. The total garment count — roughly one per guest you expect to print — is a big part of the number.
Design prep
A single clean logo is quick. A menu of ten designs, color variants, or artwork that needs to be redrawn for print takes prep time before the event.
Presses & crew
Guest count sets how many presses and operators you need to keep the line short. More throughput means more gear and more hands on the booth.
05 · TRAVEL
Where the booth goes
Events in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Diego are local. Anything outside that home zone adds a $900 travel fee, and multi-day or out-of-state programs are quoted with lodging and logistics. Las Vegas and nationwide events are routine with enough lead time.
