From single pieces to full crew runs, Darwin 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 Darwin, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Darwin to the other, 1.3 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Keeler, CA (22 mi), Olancha, CA (23 mi), Cartago, CA (25 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, NAWS China Lake sits about 44 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Darwin.
Because Keeler sits only 22 miles from Darwin, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Darwin customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Darwin customers, these three earn their keep.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Darwin customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

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.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Darwin addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your darwin crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
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. The Design Lab shows live pack pricing, back print costs, size upcharges, and shipping as you build your design.
