From single pieces to full crew runs, Cold Spring 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 Cold Spring, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Cold Spring at about 4,300 people on 2.8 square miles of Minnesota, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Richmond, MN (4 mi), Rockville, MN (5 mi), St. John's University, MN (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Camp Ripley, roughly 37 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 Cold Spring counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Minnesota mixes Cold Spring crews with neighbors like Richmond, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. 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. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Cold Spring customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained 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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Cold Spring customers, these three earn their keep.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Cold Spring customers see.
| 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 |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 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.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Production plus shipping to Cold Spring 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.
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.
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.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Cold Spring crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
