DTG and DTF Printing for Tar Heel: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Tar Heel 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 Tar Heel address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 90 spread over 0.2 square miles, Tar Heel gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with White Oak, NC (4 mi), Dublin, NC (7 mi), St. Pauls, NC (12 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Fort Liberty sits about 26 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Tar Heel.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Tar Heel does not stop at the town line. Crews from White Oak (4 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Test a design with 10 pieces before committing to a 100-piece screen print run. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Tar heel customers feel the difference on the first order.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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 Tar Heel customers, these three earn their keep.
Garment dyed 6.1oz cotton with a washed, premium feel. Full color DTG on this blank looks like retail product, not a print job. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. 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.

Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
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.
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.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Every order ships tracked to Tar Heel addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
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.
Standard production plus shipping takes 5 to 7 business days. Rush options are available on many orders, tell us your date and we answer honestly.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
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.
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.
