DTG and DTF Printing delivered to Carlock

Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Carlock, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.

Census numbers put Carlock at a community of 556 on 0.4 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Danvers, IL (4 mi), Congerville, IL (5 mi), Twin Grove, IL (7 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Rock Island Arsenal, roughly 97 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 Carlock.

DTG and DTF Printing demand around Carlock does not stop at the town line. Crews from Danvers (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.

What Carlock gets printed in full color

Rush gift runs

When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.

Small runs from 10 pieces

The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.

Photo and memorial shirts

Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.

Full-color artwork

Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.

Small-batch merch

Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.

Mixed-design orders

One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.

Why order from a shop built for the military community

We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Carlock customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.

Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.

No sales call needed to get a number.

The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.

What to print it on

The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Carlock customers, these three earn their keep.

Premium Heavyweight Tee

Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.

Classic Cotton Tee

The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.

Max Heavyweight Street Tee

Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.

05 //

No artwork? That is the normal case

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.

What it costs

No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Carlock customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

Order sizePack totalCost per pieceFreightBack side
Pack of 10$180$18 ea$18$4 ea
Pack of 15$250$16.67 ea$18$4 ea
Pack of 20$320$16 ea$20.99$4 ea

Pack of 50$700$14 ea$22.99$2 ea
Pack of 100$1200$12 eaFREE$2 ea

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.

How it works, start to finish

01

Brief

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.

02

Proof

Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.

03

Approve

You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.

04

Print and ship

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.

05

Reorder

Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.

08 //

Shipping and turnaround

Every order ships tracked to Carlock 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.

Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.

Common questions

How do 2XL and larger sizes work?

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.

What is your return policy?

Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.

Is there a minimum order?

Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Carlock crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.

What file types work best?

File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.

Do you ship to APO and FPO addresses?

Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.

Can I see the price before I talk to anyone?

Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
