What does an onsite embroidery bar cost?
That base figure is a working station, not a rental: a commercial machine and operator, a host running the queue, digitized artwork proofed before the date, garment staging, and the load-in/strike labor most quotes hide. Nothing shows up on an invoice that wasn't on the quote.
Where quotes drift up — and down
Up: long live windows (crew hours are the biggest lever), a second machine head for surge crowds, big garment orders on our invoice, and multiple new logos that each need a stitch file built.
Down: supplying your own garments, tightening the live window to the hours guests actually show, reusing logos we've already digitized, and — the big one — booking dates as a program instead of one-offs.
The program discount, explained without hand-waving
A standalone date carries its whole overhead alone. A monthly bookstore Friday or quarterly HQ gifting calendar shares digitizing, floor plans, insurance paperwork, and vendor onboarding across the year. That's not a coupon — it's real cost that stops recurring, and the quote reflects it. The structure is laid out on the pricing page.
For context on what those dollars buy operationally, the case studies include real footprints, dock times, and output counts. When you're ready for an exact number, send dates and a property — quotes come back line-itemed, usually within a business day.
