DTG and DTF Printing for Velarde: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Velarde 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 Velarde address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 2.6 square miles of Velarde sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Canova, NM (2 mi), Lyden, NM (3 mi), Dixon, NM (4 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Kirtland Air Force Base, roughly 82 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 Velarde.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of New Mexico mixes Velarde crews with neighbors like Canova, 2 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Photo shirts reproduce the actual photograph, and memorial timelines get priority. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Unlimited colors at one price, so gradients and photo art cost nothing extra. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
When the retirement is Friday, rush printing exists for exactly this. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Ten shirts print at a fair small-run price: full color, no screens, no setup fee. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Velarde customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Velarde customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real 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. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The reliable choice for photo prints and memorial pieces, with 80 plus colors to match any design. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Velarde customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
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.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
Every order ships tracked to Velarde 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.
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.
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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right 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.
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.
