DTG and DTF Printing for Durham: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Durham, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 296,000 people spread over 116.8 square miles, Durham gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Gorman, NC (7 mi), Chapel Hill, NC (9 mi), Morrisville, NC (10 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Fort Liberty, roughly 62 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 Durham counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of North Carolina mixes Durham crews with neighbors like Gorman, 7 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. 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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Durham customers 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.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Durham customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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 second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
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.
Here is what Durham 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.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.

Every order ships tracked to Durham 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.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your durham crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
