Planning a t-shirt bar: the checklist we wish everyone had.
A live bar is turnkey on our end, but a few decisions on yours make the difference between a smooth night and a stalled line. Here is everything worth nailing down before the date.
Space and power
A single station needs roughly a ten-by-ten footprint for the presses, the garment wall, and a little breathing room for the line. Presses pull real power, so we confirm outlets or bring generators — just tell us whether the venue has dedicated circuits nearby. Indoors is easy; outdoors, we plan shade and a wind-safe layout. Share the venue and we will handle the rest of the load-in math.
Guest count and timing
Give us a realistic headcount and, just as important, when the rush hits. A hundred guests over three hours is one station; a hundred who all want a shirt in the first thirty minutes is two or three. We would rather over-staff a known peak than watch a line sour. Lock the bar's window to the part of the event where you actually want the energy — usually the lull after the main program.
The design menu
This is the one thing only you can decide. The best menus are tight: your logo or event mark, one or two playful options, and maybe a personalization field like a name or date. Too many choices slow the line; too few feel generic. Send us your artwork early and we will turn it into clean, press-ready transfers and a menu board guests can read at a glance.
