Banners and Signs for Mallard: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Mallard 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 Mallard address in 5 to 7 business days.
Mallard is home to a community of 255 across 0.4 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. If your people are spread out, that is fine: Curlew, IA (4 mi), Plover, IA (5 mi), Havelock, IA (7 mi) sit close enough that one order can outfit all of them. Camp Dodge, around 99 miles from Mallard, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Mallard counted against your roster.
Because Curlew sits only 4 miles from Mallard, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
The full event kit: sponsor boards, registration signs, and arrows that get people where they belong. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Hem-and-grommet outdoor vinyl sized to the fence line. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Dedication displays produced with the seriousness the ceremony deserves. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Four-by-eight photo banners for the pier, hangar, and parade field, printed fast because return dates move. Every price is published before you talk to a person, so the budget math happens on your terms.
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 Mallard 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.
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.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Mallard customers, these three earn their keep.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
For outdoor events in cold months, the crew needs more than a tee. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Pair the banner with matching tees in the same order: one approval covers everything. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
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.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
Production and shipping run 5 to 7 business days standard. Rush options exist and get quoted honestly against your date.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
