Station hours
Every station is quoted for setup, live production, and teardown. A six-hour conference day and a two-day expo price very differently.
On-Site Swag Printing / Pricing
Pricing
What an on-site swag printing quote is built from.
Pricing is quote-based because a station's cost tracks your event, not a catalog. As a starting anchor, staffed stations begin around $5,000 for a local event; below is what moves the number up or down.
Staffing
Operators run about $250 per hour and scale with station count. We staff to your peak windows so lines clear without paying for idle crew.
Products & blanks
Bella+Canvas tees, hoodies, canvas totes, Richardson 112 caps, and tumblers each carry different blank costs and prep.
Artwork prep
Clean vector files press fastest. Digitizing for embroidery, color separations, or on-site name menus can add prep time.
Travel
Local Southern California events carry no travel fee. Events outside the OC, LA, and San Diego area add roughly $900 for travel and logistics.
Station count
Adding stations raises throughput for keynote breaks and expo rushes. We recommend the count your agenda actually needs.
The fastest way to a real number
Send the venue, the dates and hours, your expected attendance, and the items you want printed. That is enough for us to recommend a station count, staffing plan, and product mix, and to come back with a firm quote, usually within one business day. No generic price table guessing at your event.

How much does on-site swag printing cost?
Staffed stations start around $5,000 for a local Southern California event. The final figure depends on station count, hours, the products you print, artwork prep, and travel. Staffing runs about $250 per operator hour, and travel is roughly $900 for events outside the OC, LA, and San Diego area.
Why is pricing quote-based?
A conference with two stations over six hours printing tees is a different job than a four-station expo activation running tees, totes, and tumblers. We quote to your actual floor plan and agenda instead of a flat rate that would over- or under-charge you.
