T-ShirtVeterans
Custom shirts, hats, and gear for Melrose crews, printed by a shop that lives for this work and delivered anywhere in Massachusetts in 5 to 7 business days.
Melrose does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Melrose address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 29,000 people spread over 4.7 square miles, Melrose gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Malden, MA (2 mi), Stoneham, MA (2 mi), Saugus, MA (2 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Coast Guard Base Boston, around 8 miles from Melrose, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The Massachusetts military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Hanscom Air Force Base and Westover Air Reserve Base, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Melrose.
The workhorse method: thick ink, bulk pricing, hundreds of washes.
Digitized in-house so small text stays sharp on caps and chest logos.
Full color small runs from just 10 pieces.
All-over color dyed into the fabric, impossible to crack or peel.
Homecoming banners and event signage built for outdoors.
A real designer builds your art before anything prints.
Festival tees, cleanup-day shirts, and volunteer gear for the events that hold a town together. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Group apparel for congregations, mission trips, and food drives at honest pack pricing. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Race shirts and tournament gear that arrive before the starting gun, guaranteed honestly. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
League jerseys and fan gear where kid and parent sizes share one pack price. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
PTA runs, field day tees, and club shirts proofed free and priced by the pack before the order form goes home. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Workwear for local crews: printed tees, embroidered polos, gear that outlasts the season. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Melrose customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Melrose customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Melrose customers see.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
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.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Production plus shipping to Melrose 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
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.
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.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your melrose group can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
