From single pieces to full crew runs, Ludlow gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Ludlow 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 Ludlow address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 297 spread over 0.4 square miles, Ludlow gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Paxton, IL (5 mi), Rantoul, IL (6 mi), Gifford, IL (8 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Grissom Air Reserve Base, roughly 111 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
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 Ludlow.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Illinois mixes Ludlow crews with neighbors like Paxton, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Signage for race day and fair day: sponsors, directions, registration. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Pull-up stands that turn a folding table into a professional booth. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives and campaigns. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
We built this company on a simple standard: print it like the name on it matters. For Ludlow customers, that means honest timelines, real proofs, and no excuses on delivery day.
The same discipline applies inward: an unrealistic date or a design that will not print well gets flagged before you commit, not explained after.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Ludlow customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
For outdoor events in cold months, the crew needs more than a tee. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Most orders here start without finished artwork, and that is fine. Our in-house designers redraw low resolution logos as clean vectors, build new designs from a written description, and match era-correct type and insignia when the design calls for it. The service costs nothing with an order, the first proof lands within 24 hours, and revisions are unlimited. You approve the final art in writing before production, so the shirt that arrives is the shirt you signed off on.
Want to try it yourself first? The Design Lab lets you upload art, add text in stencil and athletic fonts, and position everything on the exact garment with live pricing the whole time.

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.
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.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Your art and specs stay on file, so reorders match the first run exactly, down to the ink.
Delivery to Ludlow addresses follows one simple clock: 5 to 7 business days including production, with tracking from the moment it leaves. Hit 100 pieces and the shipping line drops to zero.
Before sealing, every carton is counted against the size roster, and tracking goes out the same day. Anything short or damaged gets replaced at our cost on an expedited timeline.
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.
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.
Due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. Double check sizing and artwork before submitting your order. Every order gets a free proof first, and nothing prints until you approve it in writing.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Ludlow crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
File quality is our problem, not yours: vectors are ideal, 300 DPI PNGs work, and weak files get redrawn at no charge.
Deployed addresses are first-class here: APO and FPO ship on the standard timeline, right alongside all 50 states.
