What you're renting
A complete, staffed shirt bar — not a machine in a box.
Every rental is a turnkey experience. We handle the gear, the crew, the blanks, and the artwork so your only job is picking the vibe and the guest count.
01
The bar & the crew
A clean, branded station and a trained operator team that runs the line, keeps the queue tidy, and hands every guest a finished, folded shirt.
02
Blanks on the menu
Soft Bella+Canvas 3001 tees, classic Gildan, tanks, crops, or crewnecks in the colors that match your event. Guests choose their fit at the bar.
03
Designs to choose from
We turn your event art into a press-ready menu — logos, dates, hashtags, and mix-and-match graphics guests combine into their own one-off shirt.
04
Live pressing on site
Full-color DTF heat transfers press in under a minute and are wash-durable for years. No fumes, no drying rack — guests wear it out the door.
How the bar runs
Four steps from empty tee to happy guest.
Pick a blank
Guest steps up and grabs their size and color from the rack we stock to your palette.
Pick a design
They choose from your event menu — or stack a couple of graphics for a custom look.
Watch it press
Our operator aligns the transfer and presses it live; the tee hits the cool rack for a beat.
Wear it out
Finished, folded, and handed back in minutes. The whole line moves without a bottleneck.
