How does live screen printing work at an event?

We bring a fully equipped screen printing setup directly to your venue. Guests choose their garment, pick their design, and watch it get printed on the spot — typically in under two minutes per item. It's a hands-on experience that doubles as entertainment and a custom keepsake all in one.

What types of events is live screen printing good for?

Live screen printing works great for corporate events, brand activations, music festivals, concerts, weddings, birthday parties, and private gatherings. If you're hosting an event in South Carolina and want to give guests something memorable to take home, live printing is a natural fit.

Do you travel to events across South Carolina?

Yes — 8th State Collective is available for events throughout South Carolina, including Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, and surrounding areas. We bring everything needed for a complete on-site setup, so all you have to do is tell us where to be.

How far in advance do I need to book live screen printing for my event?

We recommend reaching out at least 2–3 weeks before your event to allow time for design approval, screen preparation, and scheduling. For larger festivals or corporate activations, earlier is always better. Contact us to check availability for your event date.

More Than Merch. It's a Moment.

Live screen printing isn't just about the t-shirt — it's about the story behind it. Guests watch every pull of the squeegee, feel the energy of something being made in real time, and walk away with something they actually want to keep.

We've worked with event planners, brand managers, and creative directors across South Carolina who understand that the best brand impressions are the ones people experience firsthand.

Chris at Eighth State Collective is the most talented screen printer I have ever worked with. I trust him to print my art exactly how I envision it, and he has consistently gone above and beyond to provide fast, top notch service. His years of experience in the field are showcased in every job he does. Consider Eighth State Collective for all of your screen printing needs.

Chris at 8th State puts so much heart and passion into printing! I’d recommend him to anyone who needs someone with years and years of experience as well as if you need one of the most knowledgeable guys in the industry that I’ve ever met. Look no further!

Bryce D.
Chris is one of the most hardworking and patient people I’ve ever worked with. As my business is relatively new to the screen printing and embroidery space, we had a lot of questions, and Chris consistently took the time to explain the process and guide me through each step. He paid close attention to every detail of our orders, and his willingness to educate and offer thoughtful advice was truly phenomenal. Our orders with Chris turned out great, and I couldn’t recommend Eighth State Collective enough!

Hannah O.
I have been in the screenprint business for over 20 years. I’ve met a lot of printers and worked in a lot of different shops all across the country. Chris is by far one of the most talented, detail oriented, and forward, thinking printers that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting along the way. Regardless of the complexity of the project I have 100% confidence always that he will complete a project and it will be perfect or he won’t let it leave his door. He’s also just one of my favorite human beings to work with! I don’t recommend very many people in this industry, but I always recommend chris and eighth state collective!!!

Autumn J.
I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Eighth State Collective. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality really stood out. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, offered helpful suggestions, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Chris has been doing our apparel for years. He has come through in crunch time for us and has even shipped to some of our sister operations out of state. Although professional, you feel as though you have gained a friend. Eighth State, is our only choice for Screen printing and apparel.
