Atlanta live event printing FAQ
Pricing, timing, power, travel. If yours isn't here, call (562) 614-4800.
What does live event printing cost in Atlanta?
Plan on $5,000 to $15,000 for most Atlanta events. Staffed activations start near $5,000. Guest count, hours, number of stations and the items you pick all move the number, and travel from California shows up as a separate line. We send an itemized quote within one business day.
Is Merch Troop an Atlanta company?
We're based in La Habra, California, and we travel. For Atlanta dates our own crew flies into Hartsfield-Jackson and the equipment comes with us or ships ahead. We'd sooner tell you that up front than pretend to have a Peachtree address.
How fast is it? We're expecting a big crowd.
DTF is the fast one: 60 or more shirts an hour per press, over 100 with two. Patch hats take two or three minutes each. Engraving and embroidery are slower and more personal. For a few thousand people we'll usually suggest two fast stations and one slow one.
What do you need from our venue?
About 10 x 10 feet per station and regular 120V outlets. That's it. Tables, machines, blanks and staff come with us. At GWCC or the Galleria we work from your booth's electrical order. For outdoor events we bring a weighted tent and ask for level ground.
How early should we reach out?
A month to six weeks out is ideal. Labor Day weekend, October and early December book up sooner. Shorter timelines can work when the art is ready and the blanks are in stock, so it's worth a call.
Can guests personalize things, or is it one design?
Both. You can run a single logo, a menu of four to six designs, or full personalization with names and initials. Engraving, embroidery and the patch bar are built for one-of-one pieces.
Do you cover the suburbs?
Yes. Marietta, Decatur, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Duluth, College Park, Smyrna and Roswell are all part of a normal Atlanta trip for us.
Which brands have you worked with?
Our client list includes Riot Games, Sony, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, Xbox, FIFA World Cup, Gap, Foot Locker, Rivian and Live Nation. We can talk through what we built for a brand like yours on a call.
