Press control, live output

One operator, a tuned plate, and a clean line.

Merch Troop dials the recipe, preps the transfer stack, stages the blanks, and maps the pickup path before the first press. The booth stays small; the output stays steady.

Why heat press holds up

A small booth that still runs buttoned-up.

Recipe Control

Every product gets its own time, temperature, and pressure so transfers cure right the first time.

Transfer Stack

Artwork is pre-pressed, sorted, and labeled, so the operator never hunts mid-line.

Small Footprint

A counter, a press, and a peel station — ideal where speed and floor space beat a full shop look.
