From single pieces to full crew runs, Kaunakakai 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 Kaunakakai, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Kaunakakai to the other, 12.8 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Kualapuu, HI (6 mi), Ualapue, HI (11 mi), Maunaloa, HI (14 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is MCB Hawaii Kaneohe Bay, roughly 55 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Kaunakakai.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Hawaii mixes Kaunakakai crews with neighbors like Kualapuu, 6 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Kaunakakai customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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 Kaunakakai customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
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 Kaunakakai 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
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.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Production plus shipping to Kaunakakai 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.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
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.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Kaunakakai 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.
