Custom printed large format gear for Carbon businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Weatherproof 13oz vinyl banners, retractable stands, and yard signs. Hemmed, grommeted, and printed fast. For Carbon, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 30 spread over 0.8 square miles, Carbon gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Corning, IA (6 mi), Nodaway, IA (9 mi), Grant, IA (11 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Offutt Air Force Base, roughly 57 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Carbon.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Iowa mixes Carbon crews with neighbors like Corning, 6 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives and campaigns. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. 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. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
The full event kit: sponsor boards, registration signs, and arrows that get people where they belong. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Carbon 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.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Carbon customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Pair the banner with matching tees in the same order: one approval covers everything. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
The volunteer-shirt companion: light, matched to the signs, priced for volume. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
For outdoor events in cold months, the crew needs more than a tee. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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.
No mystery pricing. These are the published packs on our light cotton tee, front print included, and Carbon customers watch the per piece cost fall as quantity climbs.
| Pieces | Total | Each | Ship | Back print add |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
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.
The press does not move without your written yes. It is the single checkpoint that makes the no-returns policy fair.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Production plus shipping to Carbon 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.
Boxes get counted twice against the roster before they seal, and the tracking number reaches you the day of pickup. Damage or shortage claims are our expense and our rush.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
Count 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, production included. Tighter date? Ask about rush and you get a straight answer before paying.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
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.
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.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Our minimum is 10 pieces. Packs for your Carbon crew begin at 10, the per piece price falls as the count climbs, and shipping goes free at 100.
