A Pittsburgh quote has five parts: the crew, press time, the garments, setup and teardown, and travel. Travel is the only one that ignores your guest count. It covers freight and flights from Fullerton, 2,120 miles away as the crow flies, and stays flat, so each shirt gets cheaper as the event gets bigger. Most Pittsburgh events come in between $5,000 and $15,000 all-in.
What's on every Pittsburgh quote
| Included | What it means |
|---|---|
| Crew | Trained printers who keep a line moving, whether it's a convention booth Downtown or a game-day tent on the North Shore. |
| Equipment | Presses, flash dryers, heat presses, ink and tables, freighted from Fullerton and built on site. |
| Garments | Blanks from XS to 4XL, counted against your headcount so the last guest in line still gets a size. |
| Setup & teardown | Load-in, build and strike around your run-of-show and the venue's dock window. |
| Every print | Every shirt, cap or tote made during your window, with no per-piece charge added afterward. |
What moves a Pittsburgh number
- Guests: more people at the station means more presses, printers and blanks.
- Hours: a two-hour reception costs less than a full convention day.
- Garments: a hoodie for a cold-month event costs more than a basic tee.
- Stations: a second station, like a hat bar beside the press, scales the setup.
- Travel: freight, flights and lodging on one fixed line that doesn't change with guest count.
Most Pittsburgh events land between $5,000 and $15,000 all-in, and the itemized quote reaches you within 24 hours of your brief.
Each line is shown on its own, so you can move any of them. When the total has to drop, garments and hours do the most. Printing for three hours at the convention center instead of six, or picking a lighter blank for a summer date, saves more than trimming the guest list. Send your date and headcount and we'll price the room you actually have.
