Most Baltimore programs land between $5,000 and $15,000 all-in, with staffed events starting near $5,000. Because the presses ship freight and the crew flies in, travel is one fixed line on the quote, so your headcount, hours and garments move the total more than the distance does.
What moves a Baltimore quote
- Headcount: print volume sets the press count and crew size before anything else.
- Hours: an evening pop-up in Fells Point and a three-day show at the Baltimore Convention Center are very different line items.
- Garments: a basic tee and a premium hoodie are far apart in blank cost, and blanks are a big share of the total.
- Stations: adding embroidery or a hat bar next to the press adds crew and gear.
The travel line doesn't grow with the guest list, so bigger Baltimore events get better per-shirt math. A 600-guest activation at the Convention Center doesn't cost twice what a 300-guest one does. The fastest way to a real number is to send your date, venue and headcount. For how each line is built, see how our pricing works.
