Market playbook
A t‑shirt bar built for market rows and street fairs
Markets reward booths that do something. A press mid-cycle stops foot traffic the way a bakery smell does — and unlike a table of pre-prints, every shopper who stops can leave with their size and their pick.
The booth, by the numbers
- Fits a standard 10×10 canopy space with room for the menu board out front
- Runs on a single dedicated 20-amp circuit; quiet inverter generator works fine where power is not provided
- Setup in 60–90 minutes, teardown in about 45 — inside normal market load windows
- 40–60 shirts per hour on one press, which matches typical market-row pacing
Why recurring slots beat one-offs
The market version of the bar improves with repetition. Keep two anchor designs, rotate two weekly, and returning shoppers start checking the board the way they check the stone-fruit stand. Our market case study covers what changed week over week — short version: mornings sell sizes, afternoons sell designs, and the rack should be staged differently by the hour.
For market coordinators
We carry insurance, keep the press safely inside the booth line, and manage our own queue so the aisle stays clear. Power draw is comparable to a commercial espresso machine, and there is no ink, no screens to reclaim, and no waste stream beyond a small box of transfer liners we pack out ourselves.
What it costs at market scale
Recurring market dates are quoted differently than one-time events — shorter windows, repeat efficiencies, shared prep across weeks. Anchors are on the pricing page; tell us your market and slot length and we will shape the number to it.
