From single pieces to full crew runs, Rio en Medio 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 Rio en Medio, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Rio en Medio to the other, 0.7 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Chupadero, NM (1 mi), Encantado, NM (2 mi), Peak Place, NM (3 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Kirtland Air Force Base sits about 65 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 Rio en Medio.
A typical week of screen printing orders from this corner of New Mexico mixes Rio en Medio crews with neighbors like Chupadero, 1 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. 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.
Reunion gear that gets the year right, drawn in-house and printed for every generation at once. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
High-count, budget-tier blanks with a clean one-color print that keeps cost per piece low. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Uniform shirts that still look issued after a season of job-site laundry cycles. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Rio en medio customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Rio en Medio customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
When the count is high, this 4.5oz ringspun blank keeps the math friendly: $12 a shirt at volume, front print included. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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.

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.

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 runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
