From single pieces to full crew runs, New Athens gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
New Athens 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 New Athens address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put New Athens at about 1,900 people on 2.1 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Lenzburg, IL (4 mi), Fayetteville, IL (6 mi), Hecker, IL (7 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Scott Air Force Base, roughly 15 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 New Athens.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Illinois mixes New Athens crews with neighbors like Lenzburg, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when New Athens customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
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 New Athens customers, these three earn their keep.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
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.

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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
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.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Production plus shipping to New Athens 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.
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.
Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your New Athens crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
