T-ShirtVeterans
Custom printed large format gear for Coast Guard personnel at Coast Guard Academy, printed by veterans and delivered to base or door in New London, Connecticut.
Weatherproof 13oz vinyl banners, retractable stands, and yard signs. Hemmed, grommeted, and printed fast. For Coast Guard Academy, that comes with delivery to base or to any New London address in 5 to 7 business days.
The New London area around the installation holds about 28,000 people, every address of it inside the standard 5 to 7 day window. The wider footprint matters for family days and homecomings, and Groton, CT (2 mi), Waterford, CT (2 mi), Conning Towers-Nautilus Park, CT (4 mi) are all close enough to share one order.
Whether it is a full unit run or a single retirement piece, pricing is published up front, the front decoration is included in every price, and nothing goes to production until your point of contact signs off on the proof in writing.
Between the installation, New London, and Groton just 2 miles away, one banners and signs order often serves the unit, the families, and the booster club at once.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Signage for race day and fair day: sponsors, directions, registration. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives and campaigns. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Coast guard units get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Coast Guard units, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The volunteer-shirt companion: light, matched to the signs, priced for volume. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Here is what Coast Guard Academy units actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Every order ships tracked to Coast Guard Academy and New London addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. APO and FPO addresses ship at the same pace, so deployed elements are covered. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your unit at Coast Guard Academy keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
