From single pieces to full crew runs, Caribou 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 Caribou, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Caribou to the other, 0.2 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Belden, CA (6 mi), Twain, CA (7 mi), Canyondam, CA (8 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Beale Air Force Base, around 67 miles from Caribou, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
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 Caribou.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of California mixes Caribou crews with neighbors like Belden, 6 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Caribou customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Caribou customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
Here is what Caribou 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $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.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be 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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
The timeline to Caribou addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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, 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.
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.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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 caribou crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
