From single pieces to full crew runs, Blackduck gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Weatherproof 13oz vinyl banners, retractable stands, and yard signs. Hemmed, grommeted, and printed fast. For Blackduck, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Blackduck is home to a community of 818 across 1.5 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Funkley, MN (7 mi), Tenstrike, MN (8 mi), Turtle River, MN (13 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. The closest major installation is Grand Forks Air Force Base, roughly 119 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Blackduck.
Banners and Signs demand around Blackduck does not stop at the town line. Crews from Funkley (7 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Field and yard signs in quantity, printed on corrugated plastic. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Fence-line vinyl with proper hems and grommets, sized to spec. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Dedication displays produced with the seriousness the ceremony deserves. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Blackduck customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Blackduck customers, these three earn their keep.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Pair the banner with matching tees in the same order: one approval covers everything. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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 Blackduck 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 pieces | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 15 pieces | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| 20 pieces | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| 25 pieces | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| 50 pieces | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| 100 pieces | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.
Production plus shipping to Blackduck 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.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
Extended sizes carry a flat per-piece add: $6 when the order is under 25 pieces, $4 once it reaches 25. The estimate in the Design Lab applies it for you.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your blackduck crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
