From single pieces to full crew runs, Kalida gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Kalida 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 Kalida address in 5 to 7 business days.
Kalida is home to about 1,400 people across 1.7 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Cloverdale, OH (6 mi), Glandorf, OH (7 mi), Dupont, OH (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Wright-Patterson AFB, roughly 83 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 Kalida.
Because Cloverdale sits only 6 miles from Kalida, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Pull-up stands that turn a folding table into a professional booth. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Field and yard signs in quantity, printed on corrugated plastic. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Fence-line vinyl with proper hems and grommets, sized to spec. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Dedication displays produced with the seriousness the ceremony deserves. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
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 Kalida customers call, a person who owns the order answers.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
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 Kalida customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Pair the banner with matching tees in the same order: one approval covers everything. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
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.
Here is what Kalida customers actually pay, starting from our light cotton tee. Every price includes a standard front print, and the number only moves down as the pack gets bigger.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
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.
Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
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.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days from approval to doorstep, with rush available when the calendar demands it.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
The timeline to Kalida 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.
Every box leaves counted, tracked, and matched to your roster. Shortages and shipping damage are on us to fix, fast, because delivery day is the only day the customer remembers.
Sizes 2XL and up add $6 per piece under 25 total pieces, or $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab includes it in your estimate automatically.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Kalida crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
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, APO and FPO delivery is standard here, not an exception, and every state in the country ships the same way.
Completely. Build the design in the Design Lab and the full order total sits on screen the whole time; no email, no call, no waiting.
