Washington Screen Printing & Custom Apparel

Screen printing services in Washington - live, on-site custom apparel across the DC metro & DMV, printed at your event.

Need screen printing in Washington? 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 Washington, at your event

Traditional Washington 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 association conventions, advocacy & fly-in days, and policy summits.

Custom apparel we screen print

Serving Washington and the DC metro & DMV

We set up at venues across the area - from Walter E. Washington Convention Center to Capital One 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 Washington venue and send an itemized quote within 24 hours.

Washington proof

Local proof before the presses roll in

For Washington, 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 Walter E. Washington Convention Center, a Downtown & Convention Center private event, or a smaller activation near Capital One 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.
