From single pieces to full crew runs, Naplate gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Naplate, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 413 spread over 0.2 square miles, Naplate 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: Ottawa, IL (3 mi), Dayton, IL (6 mi), Grand Ridge, IL (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Naval Station Great Lakes, roughly 86 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Naplate.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Naplate crews with neighbors like Ottawa, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Naplate 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 Naplate customers, these three earn their keep.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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.
Budget planning for Naplate customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| 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 |
Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
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.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Naplate addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
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.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
