DTG and DTF Printing for Upland Colony: 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 Upland Colony, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Upland Colony covers 0.2 square miles of South Dakota, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Letcher, SD (9 mi), Loomis, SD (9 mi), Artesian, SD (9 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Offutt Air Force Base, roughly 215 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 Upland Colony.
Because Letcher sits only 9 miles from Upland Colony, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
One order, many designs: DTG does not care that each shirt is unique. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Upland colony customers feel the difference on the first order.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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 Upland Colony customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
A 7.5oz boxy streetwear blank built for oversized full color hits front and back. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.

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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Delivery to Upland Colony 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your upland colony crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
