T-ShirtVeterans
From single pieces to full crew runs, Talpa gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Talpa, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Talpa covers 1.3 square miles of New Mexico, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Ranchos de Taos, NM (2 mi), Taos, NM (3 mi), Taos Pueblo, NM (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Kirtland Air Force Base, around 104 miles from Talpa, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Talpa counted against your roster.
Because Ranchos de Taos sits only 2 miles from Talpa, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. 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. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Talpa customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Talpa customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Talpa customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Talpa addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
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.
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 Talpa crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
