T-ShirtVeterans
Custom screen printed gear for Martensdale 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 Martensdale, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Martensdale at a community of 411 on 0.4 square miles of Iowa, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Bevington, IA (3 mi), St. Marys, IA (5 mi), Spring Hill, IA (5 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Camp Dodge sits about 22 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 Martensdale.
Because Bevington sits only 3 miles from Martensdale, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Youth smalls through adult 5XL in a single pack at a single rate. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Era-correct designs drawn by our in-house team and printed for every generation of the crew. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The whole roster in one run, one design, with the per-piece price falling at every pack break. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Crew tees built for daily abuse: heavy blanks, cured ink, and reorders that match exactly. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Martensdale customers feel the difference on the first order.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Martensdale customers, these three earn their keep.
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.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Martensdale customers see.

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.
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.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
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.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
The timeline to Martensdale 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.
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.
Finality is the nature of custom work: no returns once it prints. Your protections live earlier in the process, in the free proof and the written approval that nothing skips.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your martensdale crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
