A Austin live-printing budget is built from five lines: crew, press time, garments, setup and teardown, and travel. At 1,205 miles the presses travel as freight and the crew flies, so travel is a real but flat line on a Austin quote — it does not grow with headcount.
What your quote includes
| Included | What it means |
|---|---|
| Crew | Trained printers who work floors the size of Austin Convention Center and know how to keep a Austin queue moving. |
| Equipment | Presses, flash dryers, ink, and tables — freighted in and built on site. Everything except the Austin room itself. |
| Garments | Blanks in a full XS–4XL curve, sized to the Austin headcount so nobody in the queue gets turned away. |
| Setup & teardown | Load-in, station setup, and breakdown around your run-of-show. |
| Every print | The custom printing itself — no per-shirt surprise at the end. |
What moves the number
- Travel — Austin events handled end to end — travel and lodging folded into one clear number.
Every Austin quote is itemized — you see the crew, the presses, the blanks, and the travel separately, so you can move any one of them. If a number needs to come down, garments and run hours are the two levers that move it most; a shorter window at Austin Convention Center or a simpler blank changes the total far more than trimming the guest list. Send your date and headcount and we'll price the Austin room you actually have.
