Custom printed in full color gear for Alden businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Alden 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 Alden address in 5 to 7 business days.
Alden covers 0.1 square miles of Illinois, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Hebron, IL (4 mi), Big Foot Prairie, IL (5 mi), Big Foot Prairie, WI (5 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Naval Station Great Lakes sits about 35 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Alden counted against your roster.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Alden does not stop at the town line. Crews from Hebron (4 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. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Alden 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.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Alden customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
Here is what Alden 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.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Production plus shipping to Alden 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
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.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
