The live station menu

Live customization stations that replace the airbrush booth.

Every station below keeps the thing guests love about live airbrushing — watching something custom get made on the spot — while fixing the speed, artwork, and durability limits of spray paint.

Flagship

Full-color DTF heat-press station.

This is the station that answers the live-airbrushing search best. Guests pick a garment — a soft Bella+Canvas 3001 tee, a heavyweight Gildan, or a canvas tote — and a design from your curated menu. We align a full-color transfer and press it live. Because the art starts as a printed transfer, we can reproduce logos, photographs, gradients, and crisp small text that no airbrush stencil can hold. The bond is heat-set, so the finished piece is soft, flexible, and machine-washable the same day.

The practical win is the line. One airbrush artist tops out around a handful of shirts an hour; a staffed press station with staged transfers keeps a steady queue moving through a whole party window without the crowd giving up and wandering off.

Blanks we stock

Bella+Canvas 3001 tees, Gildan heavyweights, hoodies, and canvas totes — or press onto blanks you supply.

Art that works

Full color, photos, gradients, and fine text. Bring vector or high-res files and we prep the transfers.

Durability

Heat-bonded finish that survives the wash — a keepsake, not a one-night novelty.

Round out the activation.

Hat bar & patch station

Guests grab a Richardson 112 or Flexfit cap and choose a patch we heat-apply live. Curved brims that an airbrush struggles with, done clean.

UV DTF hard goods

Peel-and-press UV DTF wraps for tumblers, water bottles, and rigid swag — premium giveaways beyond fabric.

Live embroidery

Stitched monograms and left-chest logos for a more premium, tactile keepsake at upscale programs.

Event screen printing

For big single-design runs, on-site screen printing can outpace everything else — we’ll tell you when it’s the smarter call.
