Custom T-Shirt Printing in Indianapolis

Custom tees for an Indianapolis event, printed at the venue while your guests wait, not shipped in boxes a week later.

If you need custom t-shirts for an Indianapolis event, you have two options. Order them from a shop and hand out boxes at the door, or put a press in the room and print each shirt for the person standing in front of it. We do the second one. Your design, your colors, and about a two-minute wait for each guest.

Printed at the event, not before it

A catalog order locks your sizes and quantities weeks ahead, and whatever's left over goes into a storage closet. At a live station the guest picks the size on the spot, so a Gen Con booth doesn't end up with forty extra smalls and a race-week hospitality suite doesn't run out of XLs by noon. We freight the blanks and presses from Fullerton, fly the crew in a day early and print through your event window.

What we can put your design on

Screens or DTF for your shirts?

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. Send the art and we'll tell you which one it needs.

Why guests keep these: they chose it and watched it made. That shirt gets worn around Indianapolis long after the event, which is the whole point of printing your logo on it.

Indianapolis planning

Getting shirts from Fullerton to your Indy room

The presses and blanks leave our Fullerton shop by freight and ride a truck to your venue, so the shirt order is locked about a week before the event. That's the date to have your headcount close. For a downtown convention the crates can go to the show's advance warehouse; for a Mass Ave or Fountain Square space they come straight to the door.

Each station needs roughly 10×10 ft and two 120V circuits. With two presses running a simple design, we clear 100+ shirts an hour.
