DTG and DTF Printing for Protection: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Protection, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Protection at a community of 487 on 0.9 square miles of Kansas, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Coldwater, KS (10 mi), Ashland, KS (16 mi), Wilmore, KS (18 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Vance Air Force Base, around 105 miles from Protection, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Protection.
Because Coldwater sits only 10 miles from Protection, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Protection customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not 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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Protection customers, these three earn their keep.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.

Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Protection addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Protection crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
