T-ShirtVeterans
Unit gear, PT shirts, and morale apparel for Air Force personnel at Scott Air Force Base, printed by veterans and delivered to base or door in Belleville, Illinois.
The Belleville area around the installation holds about 41,000 people, every address of it inside the standard 5 to 7 day window. Orders regularly split between the installation and nearby Swansea, IL (2 mi), Shiloh, IL (5 mi), Fairview Heights, IL (6 mi), at no difference in price or timeline.
We print for units stationed at Scott Air Force Base and across the Air Force: company PT shirts, deployment and homecoming tees, ball and ceremony apparel, and morale gear your formation will actually wear. Every price includes the front print, proofs arrive within 24 hours, and nothing prints until your point of contact approves it in writing.
We know how Air Force orders actually move: a volunteer POC, a first sergeant or chief who wants it right, a date that cannot slip, and a size roster that changes twice. The process below is built around exactly that.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Air force units get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
The workhorse method: thick ink, bulk pricing, hundreds of washes.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
Photograph-grade prints from a 10 piece run up.
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.
At pack quantities this runs through the press at the best per piece price we offer, with ink laid thick enough to survive hundreds of wash cycles. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Family shirt runs from 10 pieces and 4x8 photo banners for the Belleville pier, hangar, or parade field. Return dates slip, so we print these fast and quote rush honestly.
Stitched, not printed, so it reads professional up close and survives years of wear without cracking or fading. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Single pieces and family runs handled with the care they deserve, moved to the front of the schedule when a service date demands it.
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 Air Force units, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
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.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Finished files are welcome but never required. A faded photo, a hand sketch, or three sentences of description all become professional vector art at no charge, proofed back to you within a day. The revision count is unlimited, the approval is in writing, and production does not move an inch until that approval exists.
Hands-on types can skip the wait entirely: the Design Lab puts your art on the actual garment with the price updating live.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Scott Air Force Base units see.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what 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.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Gear only works if people actually wear it, and people only wear what feels and looks right. That is why ink gets cured at temperature so it flexes instead of cracking, why embroidery is digitized in-house so lettering stays sharp at small sizes, and why the blank lineup runs from a 4.5oz summer tee to a 7.5oz max heavyweight instead of one-weight-fits-nobody. Production defects are our problem, not yours: a failed print gets remade at no charge.
They cannot put a designer between your file and the press, so mistakes print. They cannot give your order a person, so problems ticket-queue. And they rarely show the full price until the end. All three are standard practice here, with the written proof as your guarantee instead of a returns page.
Delivery to Scott Air Force Base, on base delivery points, and Belleville addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. APO and FPO addresses ship at the same pace, so deployed elements are covered. 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.
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.
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.
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 unit at scott air force base can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
