Custom printed in full color gear for Army personnel at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, printed by veterans and delivered to base or door in Tacoma, Washington.
Units at Joint Base Lewis-McChord order printed in full color gear from us because the process respects how Army orders actually run: one named contact, a proof in 24 hours, and a date that gets treated like a formation time.
The Tacoma area around the installation holds about 223,000 people, every address of it inside the standard 5 to 7 day window. The wider footprint matters for family days and homecomings, and Fircrest, WA (3 mi), Browns Point, WA (4 mi), Ruston, WA (4 mi) are all close enough to share one order.
Whether it is a full unit run or a single retirement piece, pricing is published up front, the front decoration is included in every price, and nothing goes to production until your point of contact signs off on the proof in writing.
DTG and DTF Printing orders tied to Joint Base Lewis-McChord rarely stay on post: family runs from Tacoma and Fircrest (3 miles out) ride the same proof cycle and the same delivery routes.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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 Army units 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.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Army units pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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.

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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Delivery to Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Tacoma addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. APO and FPO addresses ship at the same pace, so deployed elements are covered. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your unit at joint base lewis-mcchord 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.
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.
