From single pieces to full crew runs, Carlos 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 Carlos, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Carlos is home to a community of 487 across 0.4 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Miltona, MN (5 mi), Nelson, MN (6 mi), Alexandria, MN (8 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Camp Ripley, around 45 miles from Carlos, 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 Carlos counted against your roster.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Minnesota mixes Carlos crews with neighbors like Miltona, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Hem-and-grommet outdoor vinyl sized to the fence line. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Carlos customers feel the difference on the first order.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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 Carlos customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
The volunteer-shirt companion: light, matched to the signs, priced for volume. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Half the orders we take begin as a phone photo of a sketch, an old shirt, or a sentence describing the idea. A designer turns that into print-ready vector art at no charge, sends the proof inside 24 hours, and revises it until you sign off in writing. Nothing is produced before that signature, which is why what shows up matches what you expected.
Prefer hands-on? Build the design yourself in the Design Lab on real product photos, with the running price on screen while you work.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Carlos customers see.

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.
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.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
Everything about the run gets archived, which turns every future reorder into a one-line email.
The timeline to Carlos 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.
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.
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.
Simple math: 2XL and up cost $6 more per piece on small orders and $4 more per piece from 25 pieces. No other size fees exist, and the Design Lab totals it live.
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.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your carlos crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
