From single pieces to full crew runs, Carlton gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Carlton 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 Carlton address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 960 spread over 3.8 square miles, Carlton gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Wrenshall, MN (3 mi), Scanlon, MN (3 mi), Esko, MN (5 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Camp Ripley, roughly 103 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Carlton counted against your roster.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Carlton does not stop at the town line. Crews from Wrenshall (3 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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. Carlton customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Carlton customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Carlton customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

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.
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
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.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
The timeline to Carlton 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.
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. The Design Lab shows live pack pricing, back print costs, size upcharges, and shipping as you build your design.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
