From single pieces to full crew runs, Nelson gets printed large format gear with honest pricing and a 5 to 7 day door-to-door timeline.
Nelson 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 Nelson address in 5 to 7 business days.
Nelson is home to a community of 183 across 0.7 square miles, and every one of those addresses is inside our standard 5 to 7 day delivery window. Nearby crews are already in the coverage circle, with Alexandria, MN (5 mi), Osakis, MN (6 mi), Carlos, MN (6 mi) sharing the identical pack rates and timelines. The closest major installation is Camp Ripley, roughly 44 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 Nelson.
Banners and Signs demand around Nelson does not stop at the town line. Crews from Alexandria (5 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
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.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. Packs mix garment colors freely, so squads, shifts, or grade levels can each get their own.
Corrugated signs by the stack for fundraisers and campaigns. A real designer, not an upload widget, checks every file before it goes near production.
Fence-line vinyl with proper hems and grommets, sized to spec. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Memorial signage treated as the most important order in the building. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. Nelson customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
Honesty runs in both directions here. A doomed timeline or a design that will disappoint gets called out early, with an alternative attached.
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 Nelson customers, these three earn their keep.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
Most banner orders add matching event shirts. Doing both in one order means one proof, one deadline, one delivery. 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.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Nelson customers see.

Add-on pricing is deliberately boring: back print per the table (later $3, then $2), oversize front $3 or $2 by volume, extended sizes $6 or $4 by volume. That is the complete list, and the Design Lab computes it live before any quote is written.
The first step is just getting the idea out of your head: type it into the quote form or mock it up in the Design Lab, rough edges and all.
Within 24 hours you have a proof in your inbox, drawn to size, on the garment and color you picked. Revisions are unlimited and free.
You approve in writing before production starts. No surprises at the box opening, because you already saw the shirt.
Five to seven business days covers printing and delivery. Tight timeline? Rush gets a truthful quote, not a hopeful one.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
The timeline to Nelson addresses is fixed and published: 5 to 7 business days door to door, production included. Shipping rates are flat, visible in the table, and free from 100 pieces.
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 minimum order is 10 pieces. Your nelson crew can order ten today and a hundred next month; the packs just make each piece cheaper as the count grows.
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.
Yes, and without giving up your email: the Design Lab keeps the complete total, packs to shipping, on screen while you design.
The standard clock is 5 to 7 business days covering both production and delivery. Many orders can run faster; name the date and we will confirm or decline honestly.
Yes, and it costs nothing with your order. Send a sketch, an old logo, or just the idea, and a designer sends a print ready proof within 24 hours.
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.
