T-ShirtVeterans
Custom screen printed gear for Alton businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
The workhorse method: vibrant plastisol or water-based ink pressed through mesh, one color at a time. Best price per shirt at volume and prints that survive hundreds of washes. For Alton, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Alton at a community of 705 on 1.6 square miles of Missouri, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Thomasville, MO (10 mi), Thayer, MO (14 mi), Koshkonong, MO (16 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Fort Leonard Wood, roughly 89 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Alton counted against your roster.
Because Thomasville sits only 10 miles from Alton, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Alton customers feel the difference on the first order.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Alton customers, these three earn their keep.
The budget workhorse for big runs. 4.5oz light ringspun cotton that keeps a 100 piece order affordable, from $12 a shirt at volume with the front print included. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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 Alton customers see.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
