Read the menu
Six to twelve designs hang on the board, lettered like taps at a taproom. We build the menu with you before the event — your artwork, our layout help, sized and color-tested on the actual shirts we bring.
Now pouring: fresh tees
The mobile t‑shirt bar. Pick a design. Pick a size. Pressed while you watch.
Merch Troop rolls a full walk-up tee station into your market, campus, or brand tour stop: a design menu on the board, every size on the rack, and a press turning out finished shirts in about a minute each.

Order at the bar
Three decisions, one fresh shirt
Pull a size
The rack holds real inventory, not a sad pile of larges. We stock S through 3XL in soft retail-fit blanks like Bella+Canvas 3001, with heavier Gildan options when a brand wants that boxier feel.
Watch the press
A crew member loads the tee, lines up the transfer, and presses it right in front of the guest. Full-color DTF prints come off the platen vivid, stretchy, and wash-ready — then get folded warm and handed over.
Why a bar and not a bin
Merch people choose beats merch people are handed
A box of pre-printed shirts guesses at sizes and picks one design for everybody. The t‑shirt bar flips that: the guest makes two small choices, waits sixty seconds, and walks off wearing something they picked. That little bit of ownership is why bar shirts get worn to the gym next week instead of donated by August.
It also fixes the size problem for good. Because shirts are printed to order, nobody goes home empty-handed when the mediums run out — we just print the next design on the size that fits.
