Screen Printing for Cataract: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Cataract 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 Cataract address in 5 to 7 business days.
Cataract covers 0.6 square miles of Wisconsin, and delivery reaches every address in it on the standard 5 to 7 day window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Melrose, WI (8 mi), Sparta, WI (10 mi), Millston, WI (12 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Fort McCoy sits about 10 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
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 Cataract.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Wisconsin mixes Cataract crews with neighbors like Melrose, 8 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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
One design across the whole formation, printed at pack pricing that drops as the count climbs. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Cataract 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.
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 Cataract customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
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.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Cataract customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |

| Pack of 100 | $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.
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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Production plus shipping to Cataract addresses runs 5 to 7 business days standard, tracked the whole way. Shipping is free at 100 pieces and flat rated below that, exactly as shown in the pricing table above.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Cataract 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.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
