T-ShirtVeterans
Custom printed large format gear for Channel Lake 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 Channel Lake, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
From one end of Channel Lake to the other, 1.8 square miles, the shipping promise does not change: 5 to 7 business days, tracked. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Lake Catherine, IL (1 mi), Salem Lakes, WI (4 mi), Antioch, IL (4 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Naval Station Great Lakes, roughly 19 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Channel Lake counted against your roster.
Because Lake Catherine sits only 1 miles from Channel Lake, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
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. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Signage for race day and fair day: sponsors, directions, registration. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Field and yard signs in quantity, printed on corrugated plastic. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Channel lake customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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 Channel Lake customers, these three earn their keep.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
For outdoor events in cold months, the crew needs more than a tee. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
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.

Budget planning for Channel Lake customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.

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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
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.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Every order ships tracked to Channel Lake 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.
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.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
There are no returns on custom orders; once printed, the work is final. That is exactly why production never starts without your written approval of a free proof, and why the size roster deserves a second look before you submit.
The minimum order is 10 pieces. Your channel lake 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.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states and to APO and FPO addresses for deployed and overseas service members.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
