A Merch Troop program · Orange County, CA
The onsite embroidery bar built for operations calendars.
We roll a commercial embroidery station into your hotel, headquarters, or campus — run it for a day or keep it on the calendar all season — and own everything between the loading dock and the last stitched cap.
Home base in Orange County. Crews cover Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas routinely, and fly nationwide with lead time.
Who books this
Built for the people who manage buildings, not just parties.
"Onsite" is the operative word. Our repeat clients are hotel events directors, workplace-experience leads, and bookstore managers — people who care about fire lanes, dock windows, and whether the same crew shows up next quarter.
Hotels & resorts
Amenity programs guests remember
Robe and cap personalization by the pool deck, VIP arrival gifts, holiday lobby residencies. We stage in back-of-house and work around the banquet calendar, not against it.
Hotel & resort programsCorporate headquarters
Lobby days without the chaos
Onboarding weeks, service-anniversary gifting, culture days that catch the 11-to-2 foot traffic. The footprint clears your badge gates and your facilities checklist.
HQ lobby daysCampuses & bookstores
Stitch your own inventory live
A Friday embroidery day in the bookstore, then another every month. Alumni weekends, orientation, athletics — we personalize what you already stock.
Campus eventsOne corner. One circuit. Ninety minutes.
Facilities teams approve us fast because the ask is small and written down. This is the station brief that goes out with every hold request:
Footprint
10' × 10'
Comfortable with garment racks in play. We have run clean setups in 8-by-8 corners.
Power
1 × 15-amp circuit
A standard wall outlet. No tie-ins, no generators indoors, no surprises for engineering.
Tables
Two 6-footers
Or one dressed 8-foot counter. We bring linens if you'd rather not pull from banquets.
Load-in
~90 minutes
Dock to first test stitch. Strike runs about 45, and we leave the corner vacuumed.
Sound
Conversation level
A steady sewing hum. Lobbies, lounges, and mezzanines stay fully usable around us.
Elevator
Freight or passenger
Everything cases down to cart size. No pallet jack, no ramp drama.
Run of show
How a residency actually runs.
Paper walk
Send floor photos and a marked-up plan. We confirm the corner, the outlet, and the cart path before anyone books a dock slot.
Art and thread lock
Your logo gets digitized once, test-stitched on the actual garments, and archived. Every later date reuses the same proven file.
Load-in and test stitch
The crew lands about ninety minutes ahead, builds the station, runs a sample on each garment style, and photographs it for sign-off.
Live hours
One operator runs the machine while a host manages the queue, sizes, and personalization spellings. You get a finished-piece count at close.
Strike and restock report
Out in about 45 minutes, followed by a same-week recap: pieces stitched, sizes that ran dry, and what to stock deeper for the next date.
The menu
Caps, polos, robes, totes — stitched while they watch.
Guests pick a garment and a placement; thread menus keep decisions quick. The everyday lineup: Richardson 112 and Flexfit caps, polos and quarter-zips, waffle robes and spa wraps, canvas totes, and beanies — with names, initials, or your pre-digitized logo.
Embroidery is one lane of the full Merch Troop menu. Programs often pair the bar with a hat-patch press, a full-color DTF apparel station for volume days, or laser engraving for hard goods — same crew, same footprint conversation.

Standing dates cost less than one-offs.
Digitizing, station design, and venue paperwork happen once. Monthly bookstore days, quarterly HQ gifting, seasonal resort residencies — ask for program pricing.

One message covers it: the property, the first date, what you want stitched, and who supplies the garments. We come back with a floor-ready plan.
