Tactical event bundle for fast-turn event merch in Mexico
A pre-priced bundle for the late-confirmed event merch cycle — pre-show gifts, attendee giveaways, branded activation items, conference lanyards, name badges, exhibit-floor giveaways, drop-ship direct to the venue. Designed for the late-confirmed event where the procurement desk has the artwork sign-off but only four to six weeks before the venue delivery, and the budget owner needs the merch at the booth before the show opens. CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA for the Mexico-side billing, USD commercial invoice for the international parent's procurement line.
Why the tactical event bundle exists
Most event-merch bundles are designed for the eight-to-twelve-week procurement cycle. The tactical event bundle is designed for the four-to-six-week cycle, where the procurement desk has the artwork sign-off late, the venue delivery date is locked, and the budget owner needs the merch at the booth before the show opens. This is a different operational problem than the standard event cycle, and it requires a different bundle — components that can be sourced inside the four-to-six-week window, drop-shipped direct to the venue, and assembled at the dock without the eight-to-twelve-week pre-production runway.
The tactical bundle has a constrained component catalogue by design. The components are sourced from stock fabric (so we don't wait on a custom dye-lot), use stock Pantone-matched thread (so we don't wait on a custom thread run), and use modular branding (the embroidered brand is debossed into a stock appliqué, not directly embroidered onto the garment, so we can swap SKUs inside the four-to-six-week window). The bundle ships in a single wave with no contingency hold; the procurement desk commits a final-number lock and we ship the lock to the venue.

Shipping window, drop-ship logistics and the four-to-six-week cycle
The tactical event bundle ships in a single wave to the venue. The procurement desk commits a final-number lock fourteen days before the venue delivery, and we ship the lock to the venue with the carrier's priority service (Estafeta same-day for CDMX, FedEx Priority overnight for the regional venues). The venue delivery window is the day before the show opens, between 14:00 and 18:00, to clear the venue's branded-merchandise clearance.
The tactical bundle has a constrained production cycle by design. The components are sourced from stock fabric (so we don't wait on a custom dye-lot), use stock Pantone-matched thread (so we don't wait on a custom thread run), and use modular branding (the embroidered brand is debossed into a stock appliqué, not directly embroidered onto the garment). The production cut-off is fourteen days before the venue delivery; the artwork sign-off is twenty-one days before; the procurement desk commits the lock at twenty-eight days before.
