Akutan orders custom gear here because the pricing is published, the proof is free, and delivery to Alaska runs 5 to 7 business days flat.
Akutan does not need a local print shop to get local-quality gear. Design online, approve a free proof from a real designer within 24 hours, and delivery lands at any Akutan address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Akutan at about 1,600 people on 66.0 square miles of Alaska, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Unalaska, AK (35 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Coast Guard Base Kodiak, around 573 miles from Akutan, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The Alaska military community orders here too: unit and family gear for Fort Wainwright and Fort Greely, plus every recruiter, Guard unit, and veteran org chapter around Akutan.
Best per-piece price at volume, with ink that outlives the garment.
Thread instead of ink: caps, polos, and outerwear with permanent texture.
No screens, no setup fee: full-color small runs from 10 pieces.
All-over color dyed into the fabric, impossible to crack or peel.
13oz vinyl banners and signs sized to be read at distance.
From napkin sketch to print-ready vectors, free with any order.
Spirit gear for schools where the PTA sees the proof and the price before any form goes home. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Uniform tees, embroidered caps and polos, and workwear that survives the job. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Volunteer shirts and festival gear for the days the whole community shows up. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Group apparel for congregations, mission trips, and food drives at honest pack pricing. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Race shirts and tournament gear that arrive before the starting gun, guaranteed honestly. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Team shirts, fan tees, and booster fundraisers with youth and adult sizes mixed in one pack. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Akutan customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Akutan 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. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
The default unit shirt: heavy cotton, an 80-color palette, and a fit that survives the wash cycle. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The gap between what you have and what a press needs is our designers job to close, free with any order. Whatever the starting point, the output is the same: clean vectors, correct insignia, a proof within 24 hours, and unlimited revisions until you approve it in writing. Only then does anything print.
The Design Lab offers the self-serve path, with your art positioned on real product photos and the total priced as you go.
Here is what Akutan customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Back prints add per piece at the rate shown, dropping to $3 at 25 pieces and $2 at 50. Oversized full body fronts add $3 per piece under 25 pieces and $2 at 25 or more, and sizes 2XL and up add $6 each under 25 pieces or $4 each at 25 or more. Heavier garments follow the same pack structure at their own price points, all shown live in the Design Lab.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
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.
The timeline to Akutan 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.
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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Akutan group, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
Vector files such as AI, SVG, EPS, and PDF are ideal. A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background also prints clean. If all you have is a screenshot, we redraw it free.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
