From single pieces to full crew runs, Chugwater gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Chugwater, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Chugwater at a community of 171 on 3.1 square miles of Wyoming, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Slater, WY (9 mi), Whiting, WY (19 mi), Y-O Ranch, WY (20 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is F.E. Warren Air Force Base, roughly 43 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 Chugwater.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Wyoming mixes Chugwater crews with neighbors like Slater, 9 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Chugwater customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Chugwater customers, these three earn their keep.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. 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. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.

The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Delivery to Chugwater addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Chugwater crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
