From single pieces to full crew runs, Dickens gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Dickens 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 Dickens address in 5 to 7 business days.
Dickens is home to a community of 147 across 0.8 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: Ruthven, IA (6 mi), Spencer, IA (7 mi), Gillett Grove, IA (8 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Camp Dodge, around 120 miles from Dickens, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
The whole process runs remote: rough idea in, free designer-built proof back, written approval, and finished gear delivered to Dickens.
Because Ruthven sits only 6 miles from Dickens, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Hem-and-grommet outdoor vinyl sized to the fence line. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Four-by-eight photo banners for the pier, hangar, and parade field, printed fast because return dates move. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Dickens customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
Ninety seconds in the Design Lab gets you a complete number: garment, print, sizes, upcharges, and shipping, all before any contact form.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Dickens customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.

Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
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.
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.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
