Need screen printing in Columbus? Merch Troop brings live screen printing services to your event - real presses, real ink, custom apparel pulled on site instead of ordered from a shop across town.
Screen printing in Columbus, at your event
Traditional Columbus screen printing means dropping off a file and picking up boxes later. Live screen printing means the press comes to your venue and runs in front of your guests - the same quality, turned into an experience. It is a fit for Convention Center expos, Buckeye game-day & tailgate activations, and Short North brand pop-ups.
Custom apparel we screen print
- T-shirts & tanks - the classic, in a full size run.
- Hoodies & crews - premium pieces that read as a real gift.
- Totes & more - flat goods print great live too.
Serving Columbus and Central Ohio
We set up at venues across the area - from Greater Columbus Convention Center to Nationwide Arena - so "screen printing near me" means we come to you. Each press turns out up to 60 shirts an hour, and a standard two-press setup clears 100+ an hour.
Quick estimate: tell us your headcount and run time and we will size the screen-print setup to your Columbus venue and send an itemized quote within 24 hours.

Columbus proof
Local proof before the presses roll in
For Columbus, 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 Greater Columbus Convention Center, a Downtown & Convention Center private event, or a smaller activation near Nationwide Arena.
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.
