Custom printed in full color gear for Groton businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 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 Groton, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Groton is home to about 2,100 people across 1.7 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: McLean, NY (4 mi), Freeville, NY (5 mi), Cortland West, NY (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Tobyhanna Army Depot, around 89 miles from Groton, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Groton.
Because McLean sits only 4 miles from Groton, 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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Groton customers feel the difference on the first order.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Groton customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Groton customers see.

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.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
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.
Delivery to Groton 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Groton crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free 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.
