Space, power, and load-in for the t‑shirt bar
This page exists so you can paste one link to your venue coordinator and be done. Every spec below is what we actually advance before each event.
Footprint
The full bar fits a standard 10×10 booth space: press against the back line, size rack on one side, fold/handoff table on the other, menu board out front where the line forms. Retail and lobby layouts can compress; adding a second press stretches the ideal footprint to about 10×15 so the two lines do not braid.
Power
Each press needs one dedicated 20-amp, 120V circuit — standard building power, no 220V service, no distro. Do not share the circuit with a coffee urn or a DJ rig; breakers trip at the worst possible moment, always. Where there is no house power (markets, lots, fields), a 2,000-watt-class inverter generator runs a single press quietly enough for conversation at the booth.
Load-in and timing
- Setup: 60–90 minutes from dock to first pressed shirt
- Teardown: about 45 minutes
- Access needs: standard doors and elevators are fine; nothing oversized
- Parking: one vehicle near the load point for the setup window
Indoor use, floors, and safety
DTF pressing is a dry process — no fumes, no overspray, no liquid ink at the venue. Nothing marks floors; the press stands on its own table with a heat-safe pad. Walkway cables get ramped or taped to code, and a certificate of insurance goes to the venue or property manager before load-in, naming additional insureds as required.
The advance call
Every booking includes a short advance with your venue contact to lock power location, load path, and footprint on a floor plan. Venues that have hosted us once usually wave the second visit through — the bar is a polite tenant. Questions your coordinator still has? (562) 614-4800 reaches someone who has personally pushed the cart up the ramp.
