Start with the guest path
The right live heat press setup starts with the line, not the machine. Decide where guests enter, where they choose the art, where the crew produces the item, and where finished merch leaves the table.
Choose products that match the method
shirts, hoodies, jerseys, patch hats, totes, event uniforms can all work, but the event should focus on a small menu that can be produced cleanly.
Give artwork time
transfer art, press temperature, blank staging, line management should happen before the venue load-in whenever possible.
