DTG and DTF Printing for Patriot: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Patriot 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 Patriot address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Patriot at a community of 205 on 0.3 square miles of Indiana, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Warsaw, KY (5 mi), Florence, IN (6 mi), Rabbit Hash, KY (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Camp Atterbury sits about 70 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
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 Patriot.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Indiana mixes Patriot crews with neighbors like Warsaw, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
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. 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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Patriot customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Patriot customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Patriot customers see.

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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Patriot 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.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Patriot crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
