Custom apparel delivered to Dalton, Missouri in 5 to 7 business days. Low 10 piece minimum, free design help, pack pricing published up front.
Dalton does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Dalton address in 5 to 7 business days.
Dalton is home to a community of 7 across 0.2 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Keytesville, MO (4 mi), Brunswick, MO (7 mi), Salisbury, MO (10 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Whiteman Air Force Base, roughly 53 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The Missouri military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Fort Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Dalton.
The workhorse method: thick ink, bulk pricing, hundreds of washes.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
Photograph-grade prints from a 10 piece run up.
The all-over method: dye becomes part of the polyester itself.
Homecoming banners and event signage built for outdoors.
A real designer builds your art before anything prints.
The civic calendar runs on volunteers, and volunteers run better in matching shirts. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Mission trip tees and congregation gear at pack rates a committee can approve. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Race shirts and tournament gear that arrive before the starting gun, guaranteed honestly. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
League jerseys and fan gear where kid and parent sizes share one pack price. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Field day, clubs, and spirit weeks, all proofed free with pack pricing the treasurer can verify. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Workwear for local crews: printed tees, embroidered polos, gear that outlasts the season. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Dalton customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Dalton customers, these three earn their keep.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Dalton customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 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.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
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.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Every order ships tracked to Dalton 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.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
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.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Dalton group keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
