DTG and DTF Printing in Long Lake, IL.

DTG and DTF Printing for Long Lake: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.

DTG and DTF Printing delivered to Long Lake

Long Lake 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 Long Lake address in 5 to 7 business days.

From one end of Long Lake to the other, 1.2 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Round Lake Heights, IL (1 mi), Round Lake, IL (2 mi), Round Lake Beach, IL (2 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Naval Station Great Lakes sits about 14 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 Long Lake.

Because Round Lake Heights sits only 1 miles from Long Lake, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.

What Long Lake gets printed in full color

Photo and memorial shirts

Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.

Full-color artwork

Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.

Small-batch merch

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.

Mixed-design orders

One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.

Rush gift runs

When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.

Small runs from 10 pieces

Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.

Why order from a shop built for the military community

Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Long lake customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.

Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.

No sales call needed to get a number.

Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.

What to print it on

The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Long Lake customers, these three earn their keep.

Premium Heavyweight Tee

Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.

Classic Cotton Tee

Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.

Max Heavyweight Street Tee

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.

Design help that costs nothing

Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.

Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.

What it costs

Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Long Lake customers see.

QuantityPack pricePer shirtShippingAdd 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

50 pieces$700$14 ea$22.99$2 ea
100 pieces$1200$12 eaFREE$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.

How it works, start to finish

01

Brief

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.

02

Proof

Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.

03

Approve

Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.

04

Print and ship

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.

05

Reorder

Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.

08 //

Shipping and turnaround

Production plus shipping to Long Lake 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.

Common questions

Can I see the price before I talk to anyone?

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.

How long does shipping take?

Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.

Do you help with the design?

Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.

Can you handle a large order for your Long Lake crew?

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.

How do 2XL and larger sizes work?

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.

What is your return policy?

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.
