Short answer
On-site printing needs confirmed space, power, load-in access, venue rules, event hours, staff credentials, and a realistic plan for where guests order, wait, and pick up finished merch.
What people are really asking
The venue question matters because the print station is not just a table. It is a small production environment operating in front of guests.
- Power access and permission for heat press, dryers, embroidery machines, or lighting.
- Enough footprint for ordering, blank staging, production, cooling, and pickup.
- Load-in/load-out details, dock access, union rules, and security credentials.
- A guest queue path that does not block neighboring booths or exits.
How Merch Troop Live handles it
Merch Troop confirms venue constraints before finalizing method and station design. The crew can work compact, but the plan needs to be honest about equipment, heat, traffic, and storage.
- Ask the venue for power, load-in, booth rules, and fire/safety restrictions early.
- Send artwork and blank decisions before the production deadline.
- Reserve more footprint when the activation includes personalization or several design choices.
