Build-Your-Own Mini-Campus Pop-Up

from $300.00

Build the mini-campus print experience that matches your budget, schedule, and turnout. Choose how the station is staffed, how many print items you want included, and how many custom stamps you want carved. We plan the flow, set it up for public high-traffic spaces, and make it easy on your team.

What we bring (included with all campus builds)

  • Campus-ready station layout + surface protection + drying setup

  • Ink + tools + printing materials

  • Printed signage + simple instructions

  • Pre-event coordination (layout, timing, accessibility needs, campus constraints)

  • Setup + breakdown + cleanup plan (based on staffing option)

Accessibility

Tell us what access needs you’re planning for (table height, seating options, line spacing, sensory considerations). We’ll design the setup around that.

How it works

  1. Choose your build (staffed or handoff + inventory + stamps)

  2. Send event details (date, location, audience, goals)

  3. We confirm stamp direction + station plan + any sizing needs (if shirts)

  4. Day-of: we set up, run the staffed experience or train your Print Captains and hand it off

Procurement-ready

W-9 • COI • Net-30 • Purchase orders • Vendor onboarding support

Request availability + a campus quote

Don’t see what you need? Submit a quote and tell us your date, event type (stand-alone or part of an event), estimated attendance, and whether you want totes, shirts, or a mix. We’ll respond with availability, a recommended setup, and a quote.

Equity & Access (NOTAFLOF)

We know many campus programs are navigating reduced programming budgets, especially cultural centers and student-led programs. We offer sliding-scale pricing and, when capacity allows, we do our best to honor NOTAFLOF (no one turned away for lack of funds). If cost is your barrier, share your budget range in the quote request form and we’ll recommend the strongest fit.

Step 1 — Choose how the station is staffed (Staffing rate: +$100/hour):
Step 2 — Choose your included print item inventory (+$2.50 per item):
Step 3 — Choose your stamp count (bundle discounts):

Campus Base Fee (required)

Campus Base Fee: $700

The Campus Base Fee covers pre-event coordination, vendor requirements, station build-out (signage/flow/setup/clean-up), tools + materials, and the operational costs of delivering a reliable campus-ready activation in a public, high-traffic setting. In short: it’s what makes the station turnkey and stress-free for your team.

Packages

Step 1 — Choose how the station is staffed

  1. Option A: Stay + Support + Facilitate (Staffed)

We run the station end-to-end: setup, line flow, placement coaching, troubleshooting, pacing, and cleanup.

Staffing rate: $100/hour
Choose your staffed window:

  • 2 hours: $200

  • 3 hours: $300

  • 6 hours: $600

  1. Option B: Launch + Train + Handoff — +$450

We set up the station, train your 1–2 designated “Print Captains,” and launch the first prints clean. Then your team runs the station for the rest of the event using our instructions + troubleshooting guide.

  1. Launch + Train + Handoff: $450 (up to 90 minutes on-site)
    Print Captain requirement: You provide 1–2 adults/staff/volunteers to run the station after we leave.

  2. Station kit included (loaned for the event window): ink setup, brayers/rollers, tools, surface protection, and cleanup supplies — everything needed to run the print table after we leave (minus the blank items you select + your stamp).

Step 2 — Choose your included print item inventory

Print items (totes/shirts/mix) are $2.50 per item.

Choose one inventory tier:

  • 50 print items: $125

  • 170 print items: $425

  • 300 print items: $750

  • 500 print items: $1,250

Choose your mix

  • Totes: instant, universal, zero sizing

  • Shirts: higher perceived value

  • Mixed: best of both (totes for speed + shirts for hype)

Step 3 — Choose your stamp count

Custom stamps are designed for speed + clean prints at volume (bold, readable, minimal–medium detail).

Stamp pricing (bundle discounts):

  • 1 custom stamp: $200

  • 2 custom stamps: $375

  • 3 custom stamps: $525

  • 4 custom stamps: $650

Standard Hella Handcarved Setup

This build uses our standard Hella Handcarved station setup: a clean, functional print station with our house signage, instructions, and basic line-flow layout. Modest indoor or outdoor (depending on conditions) footprint that fits inside most event layouts or as a stand alone programming table.

It does not include:

  • custom university/event branding

  • custom + branded station styling and layout

  • event-specific signage sets

  • expanded activation planning

For a more polished, campus-branded, full-service experience, book the Branded Campus Pop-Up.

How it works

  1. Send event details — date, location, audience, goals

  2. We send stamp concepts + a station plan

  3. You approve — design + logistics

  4. We run the station — setup → printing → cleanup
