From single pieces to full crew runs, Lima gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Lima 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 Lima address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 144 spread over 0.1 square miles, Lima gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Marcelline, IL (4 mi), Meyer, IL (7 mi), Ursa, IL (7 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. For the military community, Rock Island Arsenal sits about 99 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 Lima.
Because Marcelline sits only 4 miles from Lima, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
Hem-and-grommet outdoor vinyl sized to the fence line. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Pier-side photo banners sized four by eight, produced on timelines that respect shifting return dates. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives and campaigns. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Lima 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.
Upload art or add text in the Design Lab, set sizes and quantities, and the full estimate, shipping included, is on screen before you give anyone your email.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Lima customers, these three earn their keep.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. 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.

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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
Your written approval is the gate. Until it exists, nothing prints; once it exists, exactly that design prints.

The specs live in our archive permanently: same art, same colors, same result, on demand.

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.

The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
