DTG and DTF Printing in Mattoon, IL.

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

01 //

DTG and DTF Printing delivered to Mattoon

Mattoon 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 Mattoon address in 5 to 7 business days.

With about 17,000 people spread over 10.3 square miles, Mattoon gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Lerna, IL (6 mi), Trilla, IL (7 mi), Gays, IL (7 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Scott Air Force Base, roughly 110 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 Mattoon.

Because Lerna sits only 6 miles from Mattoon, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.

What Mattoon gets printed in full color

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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.

Photo and memorial shirts

Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.

Full-color artwork

Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.

Small-batch merch

Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.

Mixed-design orders

One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.

Why order from a shop built for the military community

We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Mattoon customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.

The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.

See your exact price in about ninety seconds.

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.

What to print it on

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

Classic Cotton Tee

Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.

Max Heavyweight Street Tee

The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.

Premium Heavyweight Tee

Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.

05 //

Free design, real designers

Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.

Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.

What it costs

Budget planning for Mattoon customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

QuantityPack pricePer shirtShippingAdd back print
10 pack$180$18 ea$18$4 ea
15 pack$250$16.67 ea$18$4 ea
20 pack$320$16 ea$20.99$4 ea
25 pack$375$15 ea$20.99$3 ea
50 pack$700$14 ea$22.99$2 ea
100 pack$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

Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.

02

Proof

A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be 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

Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.

05

Reorder

Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.

08 //

Shipping and turnaround

Every order ships tracked to Mattoon addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.

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.

09 //

Common questions

What is your return policy?

Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Mattoon crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.

What file types work best?

Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.

Do you ship to APO and FPO addresses?

Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.

Can I see the price before I talk to anyone?

Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.

How long does shipping take?

Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
