T-ShirtVeterans
From single pieces to full crew runs, Backus gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Backus, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 271 spread over 0.6 square miles, Backus gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Hackensack, MN (7 mi), Chickamaw Beach, MN (8 mi), Pine River, MN (9 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Camp Ripley, roughly 58 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Backus.
Because Hackensack sits only 7 miles from Backus, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Backus 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.
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 Backus customers, these three earn their keep.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Backus customers see.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 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.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Backus 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.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your backus crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
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.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
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.
