Answer
A single press at a custom shirt bar comfortably turns out 40 to 60 finished shirts an hour. The real number depends on the design complexity and how smoothly the line flows — which is why we size the press count to your crowd instead of hoping one machine keeps up.
We plan around the queue, not just the machine. A clear menu, staged garments, a name step handled off to the side, and enough presses for the headcount all keep the wait short. For 200 guests we usually run two or three presses.
As a rule of thumb, one press per roughly 60 to 80 guests over a two-to-three-hour window keeps waits comfortable. Tell us the headcount and the hours and we'll spec the right number.
Undersized press counts for the crowd, last-minute art changes, and letting guests design at the press instead of picking from a set menu. We plan all three out ahead of time.
