ALL ACCESS venue floor credential

Concert merch printing, pressed live at the venue while the doors are open.

Merch Troop rolls a full print station onto your show floor and drops shirts, hoodies, and hats in front of fans — artist art on garments, finished in the time it takes to grab a beer at the bar.

One crew handles artwork prep, garment sourcing, on-floor operation, and the fan handoff. You keep the margin.

Tonight's setlist

Five print stations you can put on the floor.

Mix and match by venue size and how loud the crowd gets. Every station is staffed and runs its own queue.

  1. A1

    Live Heat-Press & DTF Tees

    Full-color tour art pressed onto Bella+Canvas 3001 and Gildan blanks in seconds — the workhorse station for general-admission merch lines.

    MAIN STAGE
  2. A2

    Heavyweight Hoodie Drops

    Fleece pullovers pressed with the same night-of art so superfans leave in the piece they watched get made.

    MERCH PIT
  3. A3

    Hat Bar & Patch Press

    Richardson 112 trucker and Flexfit dad hats finished with heat-applied patches and tour marks at a standalone hat station.

    SIDE STAGE
  4. A4

    Screen-Print Encore Runs

    For high-volume nights we set spot-color screen stations to feed the wall between openers and headliner.

    FLOOR
  5. A5

    VIP & Meet-and-Greet Pieces

    Limited date-back shirts and numbered drops pressed for VIP packages and after-show lines only.

    BACKSTAGE

How the line runs

Fan picks. We press. They walk out wearing it.

01

Pick & Size

Fans choose a garment and the night's art off a clean menu board. No guessing, no bottleneck at the table.

02

Load & Align

Operators pull the matched transfer or screen and register it — heat stays on our side of the table.

03

Press & Cure

Times and pressure are dialed before doors, then each piece hits the cool rack before anyone touches it.

04

Bag & Handoff

Checked, folded, bagged, handed back — the queue keeps moving through the encore.

Will call

Common questions from tour and venue managers.

How much does live concert merch printing cost?

Local staffed stations start around $5,000 and scale with show hours, garment count, and how many stations the venue needs. Crew runs $250 per hour and shows outside Orange County, LA, and San Diego add a $900 travel fee. Send your run and we quote it exactly.

Can you keep up with a general-admission rush?

Yes — we size the station to the room. A 1,200-cap club gets one or two heat-press lanes; an arena or festival gets multiple lanes plus a screen station so the wall never runs empty.

Do you travel with a tour?

Merch Troop is based in Southern California and tours nationwide with enough lead time. We can meet a routing at select markets or run a single flagship city.
