DTG and DTF Printing for Mallard: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Mallard, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 255 spread over 0.4 square miles, Mallard gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Curlew, IA (4 mi), Plover, IA (5 mi), Havelock, IA (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Camp Dodge, around 99 miles from Mallard, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Mallard counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Iowa mixes Mallard crews with neighbors like Curlew, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Mallard customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Mallard customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Mallard customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
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.
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.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
