Max Hellman will join the 2 Regular Guys this week to talk about Live Event Printing. More decorators are considering this selling option with the world returning to normal. Max will share his experience and perspective on how it’s done. Max and his team at Family Industries are heavily invested in live event printing, from apps to processes, and Max is willing to share his knowledge with us. Join us to learn about a fun way to create for brands and events.

Our regular listeners know this, but 2 Regular Guys are all about garment decorating, a bit of fun, and no rants, lectures, or selling. We are not doing this for our employers but rather for our industry. Since February 2013, The 2 Regular Guys have been the first and the most listened-to garment decorating industry podcast on this planet! We are humbled by all of you tuning in each week. We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list, and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!

Live Event Printing
How did you find yourself in our industry?
How did you decide to go down the road of live event printing?
In the early years, it really started off as live screen printing on; but now its more swag/production customization.
Were you forced to take a full break during Covid? And how did you fill that space?
lots of swag boxes (tiktok, google etc) and virtual event activations (comic con w/ amazon etc, toyota and lollapolooza)
Describe your setup at an event. What do you bring?
What’s the trickiest element to printing at an event location? Weather? Power? Inventory?
Do you have any tips for our listeners who would like to do live events?
