From single pieces to full crew runs, Chualar gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Chualar 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 Chualar address in 5 to 7 business days.
Chualar covers 0.6 square miles of California, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Gonzales, CA (6 mi), Spreckels, CA (8 mi), Salinas, CA (11 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Presidio of Monterey, around 21 miles from Chualar, 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 Chualar.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Chualar does not stop at the town line. Crews from Gonzales (6 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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 Chualar customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
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 Chualar 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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Chualar customers see.

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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
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.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Production plus shipping to Chualar addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
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.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer 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.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
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.
