Screen Printing for Carthage: 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 Carthage, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 16,000 people spread over 12.1 square miles, Carthage gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Brooklyn Heights, MO (3 mi), Fidelity, MO (5 mi), Carterville, MO (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Whiteman Air Force Base, roughly 119 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Carthage.
Screen Printing demand around Carthage does not stop at the town line. Crews from Brooklyn Heights (3 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Event shirts priced before the first form is printed, so selling at a profit is arithmetic, not hope. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Youth smalls through adult 5XL in a single pack at a single rate. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Carthage customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Carthage customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
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. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
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.
Here is what Carthage customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.

Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
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.

Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.

Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your carthage crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
