DTG and DTF Printing for Union: 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 Union, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Union at a community of 381 on 0.6 square miles of Iowa, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Whitten, IA (3 mi), Liscomb, IA (5 mi), New Providence, IA (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Camp Dodge sits about 51 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 Union.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of Iowa mixes Union crews with neighbors like Whitten, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Gift and ceremony runs on compressed timelines, quoted honestly. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
Small batches derisk merch: print ten, sell ten, then commit big. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Union customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Union customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The boxy 7.5oz cut made for oversized color, front and back. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Full-color DTG on this garment-dyed 6.1oz blank passes for retail merchandise. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Photo and memorial prints land on this blank most often, matched from its 80-color range. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Here is what Union 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 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 |
Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Union addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
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.
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.
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.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Union crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
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.
