Two to four weeks is comfortable for most Miami events - but we keep gear staged and have turned events around in under a week, so if your date is soon, ask anyway.
A simple timeline
- 4+ weeks out - ideal for luxury brand activations and large Art Basel & Miami Art Week. Plenty of time for art proofing, garment sourcing, and station planning.
- 2-4 weeks out - the sweet spot for most events. Send the date, venue, and headcount and we lock the setup.
- Under 2 weeks - often still doable, especially for local South Florida events. Reach out and we will tell you fast.
What speeds things up
Have your logo or artwork ready, a rough headcount, the venue and date, and which stations you want. The more of that you can share up front, the faster we can proof art and confirm the booking.
Short notice? Don’t assume it is too late - we stage presses and blanks year-round and regularly cover last-minute Miami events.
Check booking lead time and pricing, then request your Miami quote.
Miami proof
Local proof before the presses roll in
For Miami, the page you are reading is planned around real venue constraints, not a generic merch table. We map the nearest load-in, the available power, the line path, and the point where guests choose garments before they reach the press. That planning is what keeps the station looking sharp at Miami Beach Convention Center, a Wynwood private event, or a smaller activation near Kaseya Center.
Merch Troop is based in Fullerton and travels with the same live-event production kit: presses, flash dryers, heat presses, blanks, folding tables, signage, and trained printers. A standard station needs roughly 10x10 ft and two 120V circuits, and a two-press setup can clear 100+ shirts per hour when the design menu is simple.
