From single pieces to full crew runs, Hillsboro gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Hillsboro 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 Hillsboro address in 5 to 7 business days.
Hillsboro is home to a community of 157 across 0.6 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Salem, IA (5 mi), Houghton, IA (6 mi), Stockport, IA (7 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 73 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Hillsboro.
Because Salem sits only 5 miles from Hillsboro, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Hillsboro 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.
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 Hillsboro customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. 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 Hillsboro customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| 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 |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
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.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Hillsboro addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Hillsboro crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
Yes. The Design Lab shows live pack pricing, back print costs, size upcharges, and shipping as you build your design.
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.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
