From single pieces to full crew runs, Kensington gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Kensington 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 Kensington address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Kensington at about 2,100 people on 0.5 square miles of Maryland, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Chevy Chase View, MD (1 mi), South Kensington, MD (1 mi), North Kensington, MD (1 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling sits about 9 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Kensington counted against your roster.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Maryland mixes Kensington crews with neighbors like Chevy Chase View, 1 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Dedication displays produced with the seriousness the ceremony deserves. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Signage for race day and fair day: sponsors, directions, registration. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Kensington customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
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 Kensington customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
For outdoor events in cold months, the crew needs more than a tee. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Kensington customers see.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 10 | $180 | $18 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 15 | $250 | $16.67 ea | $18 | $4 ea |
| Pack of 20 | $320 | $16 ea | $20.99 | $4 ea |

Options price per piece: back prints at the listed rate (falling to $3 at 25 and $2 at 50), oversized full-body fronts at $3 under 25 pieces or $2 above, and 2XL-plus sizes at $6 under 25 pieces or $4 above. Every heavier garment keeps this same pack shape at its own numbers, and the Design Lab totals it live while you build.
Two doors in: the quote form if you want a person on it immediately, or the Design Lab if you want to see it on the garment first. Either way, unfinished ideas are the expected input.
One day later the proof is in your inbox: your art, your garment, your colors, at true print scale. Revisions never cost a cent.
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.
Approval to doorstep runs 5 to 7 business days as the default, faster when rush is booked and honestly refused when it cannot be.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Count 5 to 7 business days, production included, for tracked delivery to Kensington addresses. At 100 pieces shipping costs nothing; under that, the flat rates in the table are the whole story.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
Included with every order: a designer turns whatever you send into print-ready art, proofs it within 24 hours, and revises free until approved.
Large runs are the core business: hundreds of pieces, mixed sizes, multiple colors, one named contact who owns it from first proof to the delivery scan.
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.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Kensington 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.
