From single pieces to full crew runs, Housatonic gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Housatonic, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Housatonic covers 0.9 square miles of Massachusetts, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Great Barrington, MA (3 mi), Lee, MA (7 mi), Lenox Dale, MA (8 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Westover Air Reserve Base sits about 40 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 Housatonic counted against your roster.
Because Great Barrington sits only 3 miles from Housatonic, 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. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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 Housatonic 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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Housatonic customers, these three earn their keep.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. 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.
Here is what Housatonic 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.
| 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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Production plus shipping to Housatonic 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.
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.
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.
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.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
