Banners and Signs for New Chicago: free 24-hour proofs, published pack pricing, and tracked delivery in 5 to 7 business days.
New Chicago 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 New Chicago address in 5 to 7 business days.
With about 2,000 people spread over 0.7 square miles, New Chicago 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: Lake Station, IN (2 mi), Hobart, IN (3 mi), Gary, IN (4 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Naval Station Great Lakes sits about 60 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 New Chicago.
Banners and Signs demand around New Chicago does not stop at the town line. Crews from Lake Station (2 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Recruiting tables and expo booths that set up in thirty seconds. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives and campaigns. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Outdoor vinyl hemmed, grommeted, and cut to the fence you plan to hang it on. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. 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. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. What you approve in writing is what ships. That rule has no exceptions.
We print for units, veterans, and military families every day, and the discipline transfers. New chicago customers get straight answers on dates, a named person on their order, and work we would put our own name on.
That standard cuts both ways. If your art needs work or your timeline is impossible, we tell you up front and offer the fix, because a bad shirt with our print on it costs us more than the order.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks New Chicago customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
When the event is outdoors in November, the staff gear is a hoodie. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
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.
