From single pieces to full crew runs, Des Lacs 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 Des Lacs, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 183 spread over 0.5 square miles, Des Lacs gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Burlington, ND (7 mi), Foxholm, ND (8 mi), Berthold, ND (10 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Minot Air Force Base, around 13 miles from Des Lacs, 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 Des Lacs.
Screen Printing demand around Des Lacs does not stop at the town line. Crews from Burlington (7 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Des Lacs customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
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 Des Lacs customers, these three earn their keep.
The standard. 5.3oz heavy cotton in more than 80 colors including military green, sand, and every heather. Holds shape wash after wash. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The clean-front fleece crew: 8.0oz, no pocket, no hood, maximum canvas for crests and block letters. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
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. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
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.
Budget planning for Des Lacs customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

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.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Des Lacs addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
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 Des Lacs crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
