Every service. One crew. One itemized quote.
Live event printing services: DTF, embroidery, hats, patches & engraving.
Merch Troop brings the whole menu to your venue — staffed stations, blanks, artwork prep, and a clean handoff line. Pick one service or stack five; every line item is scoped before you sign.
A services page that actually reads like a services page.
Most planners searching for live event printing services end up piecing together three vendors: one for shirts, one for hats, one for the engraved gifts. We run all of it under one booking. Each station arrives with its own operators, its own equipment, and its own scope line on the quote — so you can add a patch bar to a DTF station without renegotiating the whole event, or drop a service and watch exactly one line disappear.
Scoped, not bundled
Stations, staff hours, blanks, artwork prep, and travel appear as separate entries. You always know what a change costs.
Staffed end to end
Operators handle heat, stitching, and lasers. Guests choose from a menu board and pick up finished pieces at a marked handoff point.
Blanks sourced for you
Bella+Canvas 3001 tees, Gildan fleece, Richardson 112 caps, canvas totes — ordered, counted, and delivered with the crew.

Common questions before booking.
Which services can run at one event?
Any combination. A DTF apparel station pairs well with a hat bar or patch bar; engraving and embroidery suit quieter rooms. Each station is staffed separately, so the quote lists every service as its own line.
What do live event printing services cost?
Staffed station packages start around $5,000 for local Southern California events. Staffing runs $250 per hour including setup and teardown, blanks are billed per piece, and events outside Orange County, Los Angeles, or San Diego add a $900 travel fee.
How far does the crew travel?
Merch Troop is based in Orange County and covers Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas routinely, with nationwide programs available when there is enough lead time for logistics.
