T-ShirtVeterans
Custom printed in full color gear for Big Rapids businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Big Rapids 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 Big Rapids address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Big Rapids at about 7,900 people on 4.4 square miles of Michigan, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Paris, MI (6 mi), Stanwood, MI (8 mi), Hersey, MI (11 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City sits about 73 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 Big Rapids counted against your roster.
Because Paris sits only 6 miles from Big Rapids, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Big rapids customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Big Rapids customers, these three earn their keep.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
Budget planning for Big Rapids customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| 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 |
Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
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.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Every order ships tracked to Big Rapids addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
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.
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.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your big rapids crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
