From single pieces to full crew runs, Gardiner gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Gardiner 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 Gardiner address in 5 to 7 business days.
Gardiner is home to about 6,200 people across 15.7 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 Randolph, ME (4 mi), Farmingdale, ME (4 mi), Hallowell, ME (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard sits about 90 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 Gardiner counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Maine mixes Gardiner crews with neighbors like Randolph, 4 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. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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 Gardiner customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained 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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Gardiner customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
Budget planning for Gardiner customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $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.
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.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Delivery to Gardiner addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Gardiner crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
