Live printing for Paris events
Custom pieces printed and embroidered live at Fashion Week, VivaTech stands and Marais pop-ups. Merch Troop is a California crew that travels to Paris for the right event.
Sérigraphie, DTF et broderie en direct pour vos événements à Paris. Nous installons une station de personnalisation sur votre stand, votre pop-up ou votre lancement, et vos invités repartent avec une pièce faite devant eux.
The Paris scene
Why live printing works in Paris
Paris has more fashion weeks than any other city: menswear in January and June, womenswear in March and at the turn of September into October, plus haute couture. During those weeks every showroom, gallery and hôtel particulier in the Marais is hosting something.
Then there's the business calendar. VivaTech fills Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in June, the big trade shows run at Villepinte, and Roland-Garros brings sponsors to the 16th arrondissement.
US-based, travels worldwide
Small spaces, high standards
Many Paris venues are historic buildings with narrow access, small lifts and strict rules about what can be brought in. We plan a compact station and confirm access before any freight leaves.
Power is 230V, equipment travels on an ATA Carnet, and blanks are sourced in Europe when it fits the brief.
For Fashion Week work, we'll do sample prints on the house's own blanks ahead of time.
Merch Troop is based in La Habra, California. We run live printing across the US and travel internationally when the event is right, and Paris jobs get the same crew and the same process.
