From single pieces to full crew runs, Carleton gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
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 a community of 86 across 0.8 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: Bruning, NE (7 mi), Davenport, NE (7 mi), Belvidere, NE (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Fort Riley, roughly 99 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 Carleton.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Carleton does not stop at the town line. Crews from Bruning (7 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Carleton customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Budget planning for Carleton customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Carleton addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Carleton crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
