DTG and DTF Printing for Shelby: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Shelby 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 Shelby address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 22,000 people spread over 22.4 square miles, Shelby gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Light Oak, NC (4 mi), Patterson Springs, NC (4 mi), Kingstown, NC (6 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Fort Jackson, around 94 miles from Shelby, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
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 Shelby.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of North Carolina mixes Shelby crews with neighbors like Light Oak, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Shelby customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Shelby customers, these three earn their keep.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
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 Shelby customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| 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.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Production plus shipping to Shelby 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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Shelby crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
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.
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.
