DTG and DTF Printing for Carleton: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Carleton 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 Carleton address in 5 to 7 business days.
Carleton is home to about 2,300 people across 1.0 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: South Rockwood, MI (6 mi), Flat Rock, MI (7 mi), Maybee, MI (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Selfridge Air National Guard Base sits about 46 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Carleton.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Michigan mixes Carleton crews with neighbors like South Rockwood, 6 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Carleton customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
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 Carleton customers, these three earn their keep.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
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.
