Banners and Signs for Mead: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
Mead 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 Mead address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 633 spread over 0.6 square miles, Mead 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: Yutan, NE (5 mi), Ithaca, NE (5 mi), Wahoo, NE (7 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. Offutt Air Force Base, around 31 miles from Mead, anchors the local military community we print for every week.
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 Mead.
A typical week of banners and signs orders from this corner of Nebraska mixes Mead crews with neighbors like Yutan, 5 miles over, all running through the same designer, the same proof cycle, and the same tracked delivery.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. The proof comes first and it is free, so what arrives is exactly what you signed off on.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Homecoming banners printed quick, because the ship rarely lands on the day first announced. Youth and adult cuts run side by side in the same pack at the same price structure.
Signage for race day and fair day: sponsors, directions, registration. 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. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Mead customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
It also means we say no when we should. If a design will not print well at the size you want, or a date cannot be hit, you hear it before you spend money, not after.
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.
Start from the garment and the rest follows. Among Mead customers, these three blanks carry most of the orders, each designable online on its real photos.
Volunteer and staff tees to match the signage, priced for handing out by the box. Nobody chases an order here. Your contact tells you where it stands before you have to ask.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
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.
Budget planning for Mead customers starts with real numbers. This is our light cotton tee pack pricing with the front print already included.
| Quantity | Pack price | Per shirt | Shipping | Add back print |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Beyond the table, the only extras are per-piece and public: back prints at the listed rate stepping down to $3 then $2, oversized fronts at $3 dropping to $2, and 2XL-plus at $6 dropping to $4. The Design Lab does this arithmetic for you in real time.
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.
Twenty-four hours gets you a designer-built proof on the exact blank you chose. Iterate freely until it is right.
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.
From approval, count 5 to 7 business days to your door. If the event is sooner, ask about rush and get a straight yes or no.
We archive your art and garment specs, which makes the second order a two minute conversation.
Delivery to Mead 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.
The roster is the packing list: every size counted into the box, tracking issued at pickup, and any shortage or transit damage made right at our cost without argument.
Large orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
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.
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 Mead crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
Send whatever exists. Vectors print perfectly, high resolution PNGs print clean, and anything below that gets redrawn free by the design team before it goes near a press.
We do, at the same pace as domestic orders. Deployed and overseas service members at APO and FPO addresses are covered alongside all 50 states.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
