DTG and DTF Printing for Shepherd: 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 Shepherd, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Shepherd to the other, 2.2 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Huntley, MT (4 mi), Lockwood, MT (8 mi), Worden, MT (9 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Malmstrom Air Force Base, around 176 miles from Shepherd, 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 Shepherd.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Montana mixes Shepherd crews with neighbors like Huntley, 4 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Gradients, photos, and complex art with no per-color charges. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Every shirt in the box can carry different art at the same per-piece rate. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. 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. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Shepherd customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Shepherd customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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.
Here is what Shepherd 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.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
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.
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.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.

Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
