From single pieces to full crew runs, Wautec gets printed in full color gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Full color starting at just 10 pieces. Photographs, gradients, and detailed art on ten shirts or one hundred, on cotton, blends, and polyester. For Wautec, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Wautec covers 2.3 square miles of California, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Kep'el, CA (5 mi), Orick, CA (12 mi), Weitchpec, CA (14 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. Kingsley Field, around 123 miles from Wautec, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Wautec counted against your roster.
A typical week of dtg and dtf printing orders from this corner of California mixes Wautec crews with neighbors like Kep'el, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
A 10 piece run prints at published pack pricing, in full color, with zero setup. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Memorial pieces print photo-true and move to the front of the schedule. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Complex art prints as designed: no color counting, no separations, no upcharge. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Prove the design at 10 pieces, then scale the winner into a screen-printed hundred. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Different art per shirt in the same order, priced per piece. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Retirement, promotion, and gift runs turned around fast. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Wautec customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
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 Wautec customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Streetwear proportions and max weight, ready for big full-color prints on both sides. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
The premium pairing: washed heavyweight cotton plus full-color DTG equals shelf-ready product. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Eighty colors deep, this is the dependable canvas for photographic and memorial work. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Wautec customers see.

Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Delivery to Wautec 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.
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.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your wautec 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.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
