DTG and DTF Printing for Ankeny: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Ankeny 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 Ankeny address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Ankeny at about 74,000 people on 31.7 square miles of Iowa, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Saylorville, IA (4 mi), Alleman, IA (6 mi), Elkhart, IA (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Camp Dodge, around 7 miles from Ankeny, 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 Ankeny.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Iowa mixes Ankeny crews with neighbors like Saylorville, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Ankeny customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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 Ankeny customers, these three earn their keep.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Ankeny customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |

Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Ankeny addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
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.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
