Custom Design for El Rito: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
El Rito crews order designed from scratch gear from us because the numbers are public and the process is simple: free design help, a written proof within 24 hours, and delivery to any El Rito address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 4.1 square miles of El Rito sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Ojo Caliente, NM (8 mi), La Madera, NM (8 mi), Medanales, NM (11 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Kirtland Air Force Base, roughly 89 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 Rito.
Because Ojo Caliente sits only 8 miles from El Rito, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
A tight little product line, designed to move at the table. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
A phone photo of a faded shirt becomes clean, print-ready vector art. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Insignia drawn correctly, with trademark rules respected and flagged. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
A sentence of description is enough input for a full designed proof inside a day. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Typography matched to the era, from Vietnam-period stencil to modern athletic block. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
A single visual system covering everything the event prints. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. El rito customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For El Rito customers, these three earn their keep.
Streetwear concepts belong on the 7.5oz max heavyweight with an oversized front or full back. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Most new designs land on the Classic first. 80 plus colors means your art gets the exact backdrop it needs. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Put the design on washed heavyweight cotton and it stops being a shirt and starts being merch. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure El Rito customers see.

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.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
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.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Production plus shipping to El Rito addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
