Each press turns out up to 60 shirts per hour, and our standard Boston setup runs two presses with two printers — so a typical event clears 100+ shirts per hour at full tilt. A single shirt takes about two minutes from "that one, in a medium" to warm in the guest's hands.
Real-world throughput depends on a few things: design complexity (a one-color logo flies; a four-color print takes longer), how decisive your guests are, and whether you're running screen printing, DTF, or both. For high-volume Boston events like higher-ed & alumni events, we add presses and crew to lift capacity.
Sizing the station to your Boston headcount
- Up to ~150 guests — a single two-press station usually covers it over the event window.
- 150–400 guests — add a press or a second station to keep the line short.
- 400+ or a packed window — multiple stations, common for a Boston Convention & Exhibition Center booth or festival.
