Custom printed in full color gear for Coast Guard personnel at Coast Guard Base Alameda, printed by veterans and delivered to base or door in Alameda, California.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Coast Guard Base Alameda, that comes with delivery to base or to any Alameda address in 5 to 7 business days.
Coast Guard Base Alameda sits beside Alameda, a community of about 75,000 people that our delivery routes already cover daily. Orders regularly split between the installation and nearby Oakland, CA (3 mi), Piedmont, CA (6 mi), San Leandro, CA (6 mi), at no difference in price or timeline.
Whether it is a full unit run or a single retirement piece, pricing is published up front, the front decoration is included in every price, and nothing goes to production until your point of contact signs off on the proof in writing.
Between the installation, Alameda, and Oakland just 3 miles away, one dtg and dtf printing order often serves the unit, the families, and the booster club at once.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. 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. Coast guard units feel the difference on the first order.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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 Coast Guard units pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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.
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.
