DTG and DTF Printing for Drake: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Drake 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 Drake address in 5 to 7 business days.
Drake is home to a community of 277 across 2.0 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Anamoose, ND (7 mi), Balfour, ND (8 mi), Kief, ND (8 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Minot Air Force Base sits about 47 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Drake counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of North Dakota mixes Drake crews with neighbors like Anamoose, 7 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. 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. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Drake customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Drake customers, these three earn their keep.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. 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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Here is what Drake customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| 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 |
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Every order ships tracked to Drake addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
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.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
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 Drake crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
