Screen Printing for McFarland: 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 McFarland, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put McFarland at about 14,000 people on 6.3 square miles of California, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Delano, CA (7 mi), Jovista, CA (9 mi), Wasco, CA (9 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Naval Air Station Lemoore, around 54 miles from McFarland, 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 McFarland.
Because Delano sits only 7 miles from McFarland, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Giveaway runs engineered to a number: budget blank, single color, maximum count. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
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.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Mcfarland customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
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 McFarland customers, these three earn their keep.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. 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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
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.

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.
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.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Every order ships tracked to McFarland addresses with standard production plus shipping at 5 to 7 business days. Free shipping kicks in at 100 pieces, and pack shipping rates below that are published, not surprises at checkout.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
Design help is included free. Whatever you have, a napkin sketch, a faded shirt photo, a sentence, becomes a print-ready proof from a real designer within 24 hours.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your mcfarland crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
