Banners and Signs for Advance: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Advance crews order printed large format 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 Advance address in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Advance to the other, 2.7 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Boyne City, MI (3 mi), Horton Bay, MI (4 mi), East Jordan, MI (5 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City, around 41 miles from Advance, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Advance counted against your roster.
Because Boyne City sits only 3 miles from Advance, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives and campaigns. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Fence-line vinyl with proper hems and grommets, sized to spec. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Advance customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Advance customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The volunteer-shirt companion: light, matched to the signs, priced for volume. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.

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.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Every order ships tracked to Advance 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.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
That is the point of the Design Lab: the complete number, packs, back prints, size upcharges, shipping, updates live while you design, before any contact form.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof 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.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
