NBSF Roaming

When the Lil’ Inkster, King of the Road pulls in you can be sure
that your event will be merchandised to maximum profitability!

Lil’ Inkster, King of the Road, is North America’s only high-tech mobile screen print factory. He carries along with him 40 years of screen-printing experience from New Buffalo Shirt Factory (NBSF), the leader in the screen print industry and large event merchandising.

Lil’ Inkster is a 53-foot semi-trailer equipped with a state-of-the-art 10-color automatic press & full on-site pre-press  capabilities. Within 3 hours of arriving at your event, the NBSF staff of road-crew-experienced printers starts printing your simplest or most complex T-shirt designs. You have the quality and service of NBSF right at your merchandise booth!

650 Shirts an Hour

You can manage your event right down to the last T-shirt! Using the Lil’ Inkster truck guarantees that your event “comes clean,” avoiding the worry of costly under/over forecasting. We print only the shirts you need! The headaches of inclement weather and expensive pre-printed excess inventory are over!

An Event Inside your Event

Lil’ Inkster becomes an entirely new retail experience on your event day. With your merchandise booth right along side the truck, you create a stage that showcases your high-profit product. Your customers become part of their souvenir experience, purchasing their event shirt ringside after watching it come hot off the press. This interaction also helps increase impulse T-shirt sales! We keep the presses running throughout your event, keeping your booth stocked without costly overruns.

You will receive complete on-site merchandising inventory control reporting as standard service. With our real-time computer sales records, hang-tag bar coding and personalized receipts, you can be in complete control of your merchandise profits. We are also set up to facilitate your sales with a wireless credit card system and cash management options.

Lil’ Inkster Works Inside or Out

The Lil’ Inkster semi-trailer utilizes a self-contained power plant so it can run inside or outside your event. With no special power requirements, you can spot the truck in the most visible, high-traffic areas. It runs on eco-friendly, ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) so there are no toxic emissions. Printing indoors is not a problem with this state-of-the-art emissions control engine, making your event cleaner and greener, reducing environmental impact!

Custom Wrap Lil’ Inkster Truck for Greater Impact

We offer custom wrapping of the whole truck or any part of the truck, making the Lil’ Inkster your personal 53-foot mobile billboard, advertising your event all the way to the gig! Driving down the highway, Lil’ Inkster gives your company logo and event endless exposure!

Change Product for Changing Weather

Outdoor event merchandising sales can drop with the temperature. Now, when the weather changes, so can your product line. With Lil’ Inkster, you are able to switch from T-shirts to fleece as fast as the clouds cover, meeting the immediate needs of your customers!
