Print Bar Setup + Drop-Off Pop-Up (30-100 Totes)

from $500.00

Want the live print-bar feeling without paying for full staffing the whole event? This is your middle option: we set it up, launch it, train your hosts, and then we leave.

We build the station, run a short demo, coach your 1–2 designated “Print Captains,” and get the first prints coming out clean. Then your team runs the station for the rest of the event with our instructions and troubleshooting guide.

Best for

  • Campus tabling + department events

  • Small brand moments with a volunteer team

  • Community events where you can’t budget for full staffing

  • Fundraisers that need a “crowd magnet” activity

  • Pop-ups where you want something interactive but self-run after launch

What’s included

  • Up to 90 minutes on-site within 30 miles of 94601:

    • station setup + layout planning

    • live demo + practice prints

    • Print Captain training (placement, pressure, troubleshooting, pacing tips)

    • launch support to get early prints looking great

  • Blank tote bundle included (tier-based): 30 / 70 / 100 totes (Community / Standard / Sustainer) provided by Hella Handcarved

  • 1 custom hand-carved stamp (bold + readable; minimal–medium detail)

  • Ink, brayers, tools (rented for the event window)

  • Printed quick-start instructions + troubleshooting sheet

  • Simple signage (how-to, drying area label, “ask the Print Captain”)

Print Captain requirement

You provide 1–2 adults who will run the station after we leave. They don’t need to be “art people.” We train them.

Sliding scale pricing (recommended):

How it works

  1. Book your rate (Community / Standard / Sustainer)

  2. We send a short intake (event details + stamp direction)

  3. We confirm the stamp design + the cleanest station flow

  4. We carve + prep totes + pack the kit

  5. Day-of: we arrive, set up, train your captains, launch the first prints, and hand off

What guests do

Guests choose placement, ink the stamp, and print their tote. Your Print Captains help with:

  • pressure coaching

  • keeping ink consistent

  • making sure prints dry cleanly

  • light pacing so it doesn’t get chaotic

Capacity + expectations

This is a setup + launch + handoff package. After the launch window, print results depend on guest flow, surfaces, and how closely hosts follow the instructions.

Included totes by sliding scale tier

  • Community: includes 30 totes (up to 30 take-home prints built in)

  • Standard: includes 80 totes (higher coverage for mid-size events)

  • Sustainer: includes 100 totes for higher-traffic / high-visibility events

If you expect a lot of people will want to print, choose a higher tier or add an additional tote bundle so the station doesn’t run out early.

Accessibility

We can set the station up for seated printing, varied heights, reduced-grip options, and slower pacing. Request accommodations in your intake and we’ll build it into the handoff.

Not included

  • Ongoing facilitation, line management, or cleanup

  • Additional stamps (only 1 included) or totes beyond the included 30 (available as add-on)

  • Rush booking fees, extra on-site time beyond 90 minutes (priced per hour)

Sliding scale pricing (recommended)

  • Community — $500 (30 totes): grassroots orgs / mutual aid / public schools / student groups / low-budget community events

  • Standard — $750 (50 totes): most parties / campus departments / small businesses

  • Sustainer — $1,050 (80 totes): corporate / large institutions / ticketed events / high-visibility activations

    Please Note: Sustainer bookings help fund Community access.
