DTG and DTF Printing delivered to Portland

Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Portland, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.

From one end of Portland to the other, 1.0 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Mason City, IA (4 mi), Rock Falls, IA (6 mi), Nora Springs, IA (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Camp Dodge, roughly 103 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 Portland.

DTG and DTF Printing demand around Portland does not stop at the town line. Crews from Mason City (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.

What Portland gets printed in full color

Rush gift runs

When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.

Small runs from 10 pieces

The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.

Photo and memorial shirts

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.

Full-color artwork

Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.

Small-batch merch

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.

Mixed-design orders

Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.

Why order from a shop built for the military community

The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Portland customers feel the difference on the first order.

Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.

See your exact price in about ninety seconds.

Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.

What to print it on

The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Portland customers, these three earn their keep.

Classic Cotton Tee

Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.

Max Heavyweight Street Tee

A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.

Premium Heavyweight Tee

Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.

From rough idea to press-ready

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.

What it costs

Here is what Portland customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.

How it works, start to finish

01

Brief

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.

02

Proof

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.

03

Approve

Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.

04

Print and ship

Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.

05

Reorder

Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.

08 //

Shipping and turnaround

Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Portland 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.

Common questions

What file types work best?

File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.

Do you ship to APO and FPO addresses?

Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.

Can I see the price before I talk to anyone?

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.

How long does shipping take?

The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.

Do you help with the design?

Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.

Can you handle a large order for your Portland crew?

Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
