DTG and DTF Printing for Metcalfe: 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 Metcalfe, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Metcalfe at a community of 760 on 1.0 square miles of Mississippi, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Winterville, MS (5 mi), Stoneville, MS (5 mi), Greenville, MS (5 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Little Rock Air Force Base sits about 118 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 Metcalfe.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Mississippi mixes Metcalfe crews with neighbors like Winterville, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Metcalfe customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Metcalfe customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
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.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Metcalfe customers see.
