T-ShirtVeterans
From single pieces to full crew runs, Caroline gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
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 Caroline, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Caroline covers 1.2 square miles of Wisconsin, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Marion, WI (3 mi), Leopolis, WI (4 mi), Pella, WI (4 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Fort McCoy, around 109 miles from Caroline, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Caroline.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Wisconsin mixes Caroline crews with neighbors like Marion, 3 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
The whole roster in one run, one design, with the per-piece price falling at every pack break. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Caroline customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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 Caroline customers, these three earn their keep.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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.
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 Caroline customers see.

| 100 pack | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
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.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
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.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Delivery to Caroline addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Caroline crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
