Screen Printing for Carl: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business 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 Carl, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Carl at a community of 227 on 1.1 square miles of Georgia, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Auburn, GA (1 mi), Dacula, GA (5 mi), Winder, GA (5 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Robins Air Force Base, around 98 miles from Carl, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Carl.
Because Auburn sits only 1 miles from Carl, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
The whole roster in one run, one design, with the per-piece price falling at every pack break. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Carl customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Carl customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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 Carl customers see.

Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
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.
