From single pieces to full crew runs, Arbela gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Arbela 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 Arbela address in 5 to 7 business days.
Arbela is home to a community of 21 across 0.1 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Granger, MO (2 mi), Wyaconda, MO (7 mi), Luray, MO (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Rock Island Arsenal, roughly 102 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Arbela.
Because Granger sits only 2 miles from Arbela, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Arbela customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
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 Arbela customers, these three earn their keep.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.

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.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Delivery to Arbela 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your arbela crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
