This section of the forum is for discussing the business and finance issues of the t-shirt industry. Which business structure to use (sole proprietor, LLC, S Corp, etc), how to handle billing, where to register your business and get the proper licensing, etc.
I can only speak for Tower Bridge and the great wall of China, but sellers already exist in large numbers, selling every conceivable souvenir you could ever think of.
Not sure a diy dtg would actually survive being trundled around on a hand cart? On top of all that, you have the weight factor. Even if the wheels didn't collapse, you'd really struggle to move it.
That might be a little difficult to do since you would need power, the printer and a heat press. I dont know how all of that would fit on a cart.
you would either have to have a generator or a battery and power converter to allow your printer to operate. This would add weight to the cart. I think it could work. ... JB
From my understanding of the diy dtg process JB, the heat press is needed to set the image. If this isn't done, the image can literally come off on your hands with some inks.
In that context, Tower Bridge would probably look like the great wall of China by the time you got your garment on the tour bus.

Your right the press would be needed and the generator would be the only option. .... JB

yes..a heat press is needed ..that mean extra power is required ...
I can't speak for every country Chan, but the hot dog carts in my country are powered by calor gas bottles, not electricity.
If you can plug into mains supply, or have generator in use outside, it could be done, but transfers with regular inkjet printer would be better than dtg for hand cart.
I think a portable business is a great idea. I would think about a trailer that has a opening on te side and a door to come in and out. This way your equipment would be better protected from the elements and you could lock it up and keep it secure if you needed to leave for a break. I think you could get a sma;; trailer and fit it with your equipment and even wire outlets that could be connected to a generator or regular power. I have seen this done and have considered taking my mobile operation that I use for festivals to this level. I think being able to keep things secure and out of the elements would be a plus. .... JB
