T-ShirtVeterans
From single pieces to full crew runs, Gates gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Gates 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 Gates address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Gates at a community of 472 on 0.6 square miles of Oregon, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Mill City, OR (3 mi), Lyons, OR (10 mi), Mehama, OR (11 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Coast Guard Air Station Astoria, around 120 miles from Gates, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Gates counted against your roster.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Gates does not stop at the town line. Crews from Mill City (3 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Gates customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Gates customers, these three earn their keep.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Gates customers see.
| 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 |
Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Production plus shipping to Gates addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Gates crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
