Transform Your Event with Live Ball Customisation
Imagine your guests' delight when they can personalise their own tennis or padel balls right at your event. Our live printing stations bring the excitement of customisation directly to your venue, creating memorable experiences and unique takeaway gifts that guests will actually use and treasure.
What is a Live Printing Station?
A Namethatball live printing station is a pop-up personalisation service that brings our custom ball printing directly to your event. Whether it's a corporate hospitality day, tennis tournament, padel club opening, charity fundraiser, or private celebration, we set up on-site and print personalised tennis or padel balls while your guests watch.
It's interactive, engaging, and creates a buzz that standard giveaways simply can't match. Guests choose their own design, decide on their personalisation (names, messages, dates, or logos), and receive their custom balls within minutes.

Why Choose a Live Printing Station?
Memorable Guest Experience
Unlike standard event giveaways that get forgotten or discarded, personalised balls create a memorable moment. Guests engage with the process, making it an experience rather than just receiving a gift.
Practical Keepsakes
Tennis and padel players will actually use their personalised balls, meaning your event or brand stays top-of-mind long after the day ends.
Social Media Gold
Live printing stations are highly shareable. Guests love posting photos of their custom balls, extending your event's reach organically across social media.
Flexible Branding
For corporate events, every ball can feature your logo alongside personal names. It's subtle branding that recipients appreciate rather than resist.
Entertainment Value
The station becomes a focal point and conversation starter, adding energy and engagement to your event.
Booking Your Live Printing Station
Ready to add this unique element to your event? Here's what we need to know:
- Event date and location
- Expected number of guests
- Event duration and preferred station operating hours
- Ball type preference (tennis or padel)
- Personalisation approach (guest choice or pre-set designs)

We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance for popular dates, though we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller events.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many balls can you print per hour?
Our experienced team can typically print 20-25 balls per hour, depending on design complexity. For larger events, we can bring additional equipment or staff.
What if it's an outdoor event and the weather is poor?
We bring weather-resistant equipment and can operate under gazebos or marquees. We'll discuss contingency plans during booking.
Can guests choose any design they want?
Yes! Guests can personalise with names, messages, dates, or emojis. For corporate events, you can also specify that all balls must include your company logo.
Do you provide the balls or do we?
We provide high-quality tennis or padel balls as part of the package. You don't need to source anything.
