From single pieces to full crew runs, Tilden gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Tilden 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 Tilden address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 745 spread over 1.0 square miles, Tilden 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 Coulterville, IL (5 mi), Marissa, IL (5 mi), Sparta, IL (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Scott Air Force Base, roughly 27 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Tilden.
DTG and DTF Printing demand around Tilden does not stop at the town line. Crews from Coulterville (5 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The small batch is a first-class order here: 10 piece minimum, no screen fees, full color. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Photographs print exactly as shot, handled with the care these orders deserve. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
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 Tilden customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Tilden customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. 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.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Tilden customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Tilden 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.
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.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Yes. The Design Lab shows live pack pricing, back print costs, size upcharges, and shipping as you build your 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.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
