From single pieces to full crew runs, Salem gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Salem 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 Salem address in 5 to 7 business days.
Salem is home to a community of 386 across 0.6 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Houghton, IA (5 mi), Hillsboro, IA (5 mi), Westwood, IA (8 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 69 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 Salem.
Because Houghton sits only 5 miles from Salem, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
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 Salem customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Salem customers, these three earn their keep.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. 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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
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.
Budget planning for Salem customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

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.
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.
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.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
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 Salem 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
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.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your salem crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
