T-ShirtVeterans
From single pieces to full crew runs, El Duende gets designed from scratch gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
In-house designers turn napkin sketches and old low-res logos into print-ready vector art. Free with every order, proof in 24 hours. For El Duende, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
All 1.5 square miles of El Duende sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Hernandez, NM (1 mi), Chamita, NM (2 mi), San Jose, NM (3 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Kirtland Air Force Base, roughly 73 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to El Duende.
A typical week of custom design orders from this corner of New Mexico mixes El Duende crews with neighbors like Hernandez, 1 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Crests and emblems built with correct heraldry and licensing rules observed. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Start with words alone: the design team turns a description into finished art. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The year on the shirt sets the type style, and the team knows the difference. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. El duende customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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 El Duende customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Max weight, boxy drop, oversized print field: the streetwear formula. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The proving ground for new art, with an 80-color palette to frame it perfectly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Serious designs deserve the garment-dyed heavyweight, which reads brand rather than handout. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
Here is what El Duende customers 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.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $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.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Every order ships tracked to El Duende addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your El Duende crew 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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
