From single pieces to full crew runs, Rio Chiquito gets screen printed gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Rio Chiquito 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 Rio Chiquito address in 5 to 7 business days.
All 1.1 square miles of Rio Chiquito sit inside our normal delivery map, tracked door to door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Chimayo, NM (2 mi), Cundiyo, NM (2 mi), Cordova, NM (3 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Kirtland Air Force Base, roughly 74 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Rio Chiquito.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of New Mexico mixes Rio Chiquito crews with neighbors like Chimayo, 2 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Runs, festivals, and booster fundraisers with published pricing so the margin math is done before the order form goes out. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Rio chiquito 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 Rio Chiquito customers, these three earn their keep.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Rio Chiquito customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 pack | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pack | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pack | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pack | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pack | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pack | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is 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.
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.
Production plus shipping to Rio Chiquito 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.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Yes. Runs in the hundreds of pieces with mixed sizes and colors are our normal work, managed by one point of contact from proof to delivery.
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.
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 Rio Chiquito 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.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
