Need It by Friday? BD Shirts Has You Covered.

It's Monday. You just realized your company event is on Friday. You need 15 shirts with your logo on them and absolutely zero time to waste. We've all been there. And if you haven't — you will be someday.

The good news? BD Shirts was basically built for this moment.

Most Print Shops Will Make You Wait. We Won't.

The industry standard for custom apparel turnaround is 2–3 weeks. Sometimes longer if you're working with a shop that outsources their printing to another vendor (which, by the way, a lot of shops do — they just don't tell you that).

At BD Shirts, everything is done in-house right here in St. Joseph, MO. We don't send your order off to some warehouse and hope it comes back right. We print it, press it, and pack it ourselves. That means when you need it fast, we can actually make it happen.

Why DTF Makes Rush Orders So Much Easier

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a game-changer for fast turnaround. With traditional screen printing, you've got to burn screens, mix inks, set up the press — and that setup alone can take a full day before a single shirt gets printed.

DTF skips all of that. You send us the artwork, we print the transfer, we press it on your shirt. Full color, no setup fees, no minimum run requirements. It's fast by design, which makes it perfect when you're working on a tight deadline.

So How Fast Are We Talking?

Here's the honest answer: most standard orders are ready to ship or pick up within a few business days. Rush orders depend on quantity, complexity, and our current production queue — but we will always be straight with you about what's doable.

The best thing you can do? Call us as early as possible. The sooner we know, the more we can do. We've had customers call Monday morning and walk out with shirts Thursday afternoon. That's not a guarantee — it depends on the order — but it's happened.

Who Comes to Us for Rush Orders?

All kinds of people, honestly. Here's a typical week for us:

• Event planners who suddenly realized the venue changed and need new signage — fast

• Sports teams whose season-opener snuck up on them

• Businesses that forgot their trade show is next week

• People who want a custom gift and ran out of time (no judgment — we've done this too)

• School groups, nonprofits, and community orgs with tight event windows

After 20 years in this business, not much surprises us anymore. If you've got a deadline, tell us about it. We'll do our best to make it work.
