Custom screen printed gear for Carlton businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Carlton crews order screen printed gear from us because the numbers are public and the process is simple: free design help, a written proof within 24 hours, and delivery to any Carlton address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Carlton at a community of 960 on 3.8 square miles of Minnesota, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Wrenshall, MN (3 mi), Scanlon, MN (3 mi), Esko, MN (5 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Camp Ripley 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 Carlton.
Because Wrenshall sits only 3 miles from Carlton, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Carlton customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Carlton customers, these three earn their keep.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Carlton customers 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 |
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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
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.
