DTG and DTF Printing for units at Coast Guard Base Alameda

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.

What Coast Guard Base Alameda gets printed in full color

Photo and memorial shirts

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.

Full-color artwork

Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.

Small-batch merch

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.

Mixed-design orders

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.

Rush gift runs

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.

Small runs from 10 pieces

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.

Why order from a shop built for the military community

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.

Build it on the real garment and watch the price calculate live.

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

Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Coast Guard units pick most, all designable online on real product photos.

Classic Cotton Tee

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.

Max Heavyweight Street Tee

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.

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.

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.

05

08 //

Shipping and turnaround

Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Coast Guard Base Alameda and Alameda addresses. APO and FPO addresses ship at the same pace, so deployed elements are covered. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.

Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.

Common questions

Is there a minimum order?

Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your unit at Coast Guard Base Alameda begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.

What file types work best?

Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.

Do you ship to APO and FPO addresses?

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.

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.

How long does shipping take?

The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.

Do you help with the design?

Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
