From single pieces to full crew runs, Akaska gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Akaska crews order printed in full color 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 Akaska address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 80 spread over 0.6 square miles, Akaska gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Lowry, SD (7 mi), Selby, SD (13 mi), Glenham, SD (16 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Ellsworth Air Force Base, around 175 miles from Akaska, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Akaska.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Akaska does not stop at the town line. Crews from Lowry (7 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Akaska customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Akaska customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Akaska customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| 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 |
Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
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.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Akaska addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered 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.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
