From single pieces to full crew runs, Dales gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Dales 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 Dales address in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Dales to the other, 0.6 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Paynes Creek, CA (7 mi), Lake California, CA (9 mi), Bend, CA (9 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Beale Air Force Base, roughly 84 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Dales.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of California mixes Dales crews with neighbors like Paynes Creek, 7 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Dales customers feel the difference on the first order.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
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 Dales customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Dales customers see.

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.

Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
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.
