DTG and DTF Printing for Ackerly: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Ackerly, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Ackerly is home to a community of 254 across 0.3 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Los Ybanez, TX (18 mi), Lamesa, TX (20 mi), Gail, TX (23 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Goodfellow Air Force Base sits about 105 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Ackerly.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Ackerly does not stop at the town line. Crews from Los Ybanez (18 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Ackerly 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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Ackerly customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.

Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
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.

Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Ackerly addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.

Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your ackerly crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
