Banners and Signs for Howard Lake: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Weatherproof 13oz vinyl banners, retractable stands, and yard signs. Hemmed, grommeted, and printed fast. For Howard Lake, that comes with published pack pricing and door delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 2,200 people spread over 1.9 square miles, Howard Lake gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Waverly, MN (5 mi), Cokato, MN (6 mi), Winsted, MN (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. For the military community, Camp Ripley sits about 66 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
No storefront visit required. Send a rough idea or finished art, a real designer builds the proof at no charge, and the finished gear ships straight to Howard Lake.
Because Waverly sits only 5 miles from Howard Lake, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
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.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Field and yard signs in quantity, printed on corrugated plastic. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
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. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
This shop exists for the military community, and it shows in how orders run. Deadlines are treated like formation times, proofs are honest instead of optimistic, and when Howard Lake customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
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.
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 Howard Lake customers, these three earn their keep.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Pair the banner with matching tees in the same order: one approval covers everything. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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 Howard Lake customers see.

Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
Kick it off however suits you: describe the concept in the quote form or drop your art straight into the Design Lab. Polish is not required at this stage.
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.
Nothing goes to press until you approve the proof in writing. What you sign off on is exactly what prints, that is the whole point of the proof.
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.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Howard Lake addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
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.
Always, at no charge. A designer takes your rough input, redraws it print ready, and has a proof in your inbox inside a day, with unlimited revisions after.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
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.
Order ten, order fifty, order five hundred: 10 pieces is our floor, and for your Howard Lake crew, bigger packs simply pull the per-piece price down.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Yes, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
