From single pieces to full crew runs, Howard 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 Howard, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 833 spread over 1.0 square miles, Howard gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Vilas, SD (4 mi), Shannon Colony, SD (5 mi), Winfred, SD (8 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Camp Ripley sits about 206 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Howard.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of South Dakota mixes Howard crews with neighbors like Vilas, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. 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. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
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 Howard customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Howard customers, these three earn their keep.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
Budget planning for Howard customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

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.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
The timeline to Howard addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your howard crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
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.
