From single pieces to full crew runs, Solon Mills gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Solon Mills 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 Solon Mills address in 5 to 7 business days.
Solon Mills covers 0.2 square miles of Illinois, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Spring Grove, IL (2 mi), Richmond, IL (2 mi), Ringwood, IL (3 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Naval Station Great Lakes sits about 23 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Solon Mills counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Solon Mills crews with neighbors like Spring Grove, 2 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. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. 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. 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 Solon Mills 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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Solon Mills customers, these three earn their keep.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.

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.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Solon Mills addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
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.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate 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.
