Overview

What Is The Press Bar?

The Press Bar is a staffed, made-to-order customization station. Each guest chooses a hat, apparel piece or accessory, picks from a menu of patches and designs, and our team heat-presses it while they wait.

Custom patches and designs are made before the event and pressed on-site. For stitched pieces, see our Stitch Bar.

We bring the Press Bar to weddings, parties and company events across Louisville, Lexington and Southern Indiana.
