DTG and DTF Printing for Polo: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Polo 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 Polo address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Polo at about 2,300 people on 1.5 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Mount Morris, IL (9 mi), Forreston, IL (10 mi), Milledgeville, IL (10 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 63 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 Polo.
Because Mount Morris sits only 9 miles from Polo, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Polo customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Polo customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Polo customers see.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
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.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Production plus shipping to Polo 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.
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.
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.
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 Polo crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
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.
