Custom printed large format gear for Calera businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Calera 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 Calera address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Calera at about 18,000 people on 24.5 square miles of Alabama, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Montevallo, AL (6 mi), Alabaster, AL (8 mi), Wilton, AL (8 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Maxwell Air Force Base sits about 60 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Calera counted against your roster.
Banners and Signs demand around Calera does not stop at the town line. Crews from Montevallo (6 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers 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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The full event kit: sponsor boards, registration signs, and arrows that get people where they belong. 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. Calera customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Calera customers, these three earn their keep.
The volunteer-shirt companion: light, matched to the signs, priced for volume. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Here is what Calera 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.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 25 | $375 | $15 ea | $20.99 | $3 ea |
| Pack of 50 | $700 | $14 ea | $22.99 | $2 ea |
| Pack of 100 | $1200 | $12 ea | FREE | $2 ea |
Three add-ons exist and all are flat per piece: the back print at the table rate ($3 from 25 pieces, $2 from 50), the oversized front at $3 or $2 depending on quantity, and extended sizes at $6 or $4. Nothing else gets added. The Design Lab applies every rule automatically, and the written quote confirms the total before anything is charged.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
The proof arrives inside a day, drawn at print size on your chosen garment and color. Change anything, as often as needed, at no cost.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Every order ships tracked to Calera 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.

Five to seven business days, all in, from approval to arrival. Rush exists for real deadlines and gets an honest yes or no up front.
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.
Absolutely. Bulk is where pack pricing shines, and big mixed-size runs ship counted against your roster with a single person accountable for the date.
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.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
