Live Event Printing in Minneapolis: The Screen Press Station

One of five live stations we bring to a Minneapolis venue, beside DTF, a hat bar and embroidery.

Searching for Minneapolis screen printing for an event? Instead of printing at a shop across town, we haul the presses to your venue and pull the shirts by hand while guests look on.

How live screen printing differs from a shop order

With a normal print shop, you email art and pick up boxes. With us, the press stands in your room and prints in front of everyone, so the production becomes part of the event. It works well for Convention Center exhibits, headquarters events at Fortune 500 campuses and hospitality areas at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Garments for the screen press

Setting up across the metro

We'll set up anywhere in the Twin Cities, including the Convention Center, Target Center and St. Paul ballrooms. Each press makes up to 60 shirts an hour, and running two gets you past 100. Screens are burned at our Fullerton shop before the truck is loaded, so artwork is final about seven days ahead.

Need a number? Give us guest count and hours and we'll size the presses to your venue, with the estimate back within a day.

Minneapolis planning notes

A screen press in a Twin Cities venue

Two presses need roughly 10×10 ft and two dedicated 120V circuits to run the flash dryers. At the Convention Center, you'll order that power from the venue ahead of the show; at a hotel ballroom off the skyway, we only need a circuit the kitchen isn't sharing.
