Custom printed in full color gear for Ruthven businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Ruthven 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 Ruthven address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Ruthven at a community of 712 on 0.4 square miles of Iowa, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Dickens, IA (6 mi), Ayrshire, IA (7 mi), Gillett Grove, IA (11 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Camp Dodge, roughly 116 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Ruthven counted against your roster.
Because Dickens sits only 6 miles from Ruthven, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. 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 Ruthven 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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Ruthven customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
Here is what Ruthven 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.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
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.
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.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Ruthven addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
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.
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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
