T-ShirtVeterans
Custom screen printed gear for Bluewater 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 Bluewater, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Bluewater covers 2.1 square miles of Arizona, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Bluewater, CA (0 mi), Cienega Springs, AZ (4 mi), Big River, CA (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Twentynine Palms sits about 103 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Bluewater.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Arizona mixes Bluewater crews with neighbors like Bluewater, 0 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Bluewater customers feel the difference on the first order.
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 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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Bluewater customers, these three earn their keep.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
An 8.0oz fleece crew with a clean uninterrupted front, the best canvas we stock for big crests and old school block lettering. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Bluewater customers see.

Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
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.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Bluewater addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
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.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your bluewater crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
