DTG and DTF Printing for Merrifield: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Merrifield 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 Merrifield address in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Merrifield to the other, 2.7 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Dunn Loring, VA (2 mi), Mantua, VA (2 mi), Woodburn, VA (2 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall sits about 7 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 Merrifield.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Virginia mixes Merrifield crews with neighbors like Dunn Loring, 2 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Merrifield customers feel the difference on the first order.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Merrifield customers, these three earn their keep.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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.
Budget planning for Merrifield customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |

Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Production plus shipping to Merrifield 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Merrifield crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
