T-ShirtVeterans
Custom screen printed gear for Karnes City businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 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 Karnes City, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Karnes City at about 3,100 people on 2.3 square miles of Texas, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Kenedy, TX (6 mi), Falls City, TX (10 mi), Runge, TX (11 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Lackland Air Force Base, roughly 55 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Karnes City counted against your roster.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of Texas mixes Karnes City crews with neighbors like Kenedy, 6 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
One run covers the team and the bleachers: kid sizes and adult sizes priced together. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Karnes city customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Karnes City customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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.
The table below is the actual price list Karnes City customers order from, light cotton tee, front print included, no asterisks.

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.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
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.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
The timeline to Karnes City addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate 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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Karnes City crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
Best case: vector art (AI, SVG, EPS, PDF). Very good case: a 300 DPI transparent PNG. Worst case: a screenshot, which our designers redraw at no charge anyway.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
