Custom printed large format gear for Northlake businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Northlake 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 Northlake address in 5 to 7 business days.
Census numbers put Northlake at about 12,000 people on 3.2 square miles of Illinois, all of it covered by the same tracked shipping. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Stone Park, IL (1 mi), Berkeley, IL (2 mi), Franklin Park, IL (2 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. The closest major installation is Naval Station Great Lakes, roughly 28 miles out, and unit orders from there run through this same process daily.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Northlake counted against your roster.
Because Stone Park sits only 1 miles from Northlake, joint orders across town lines are common here: one proof, one pack price, two delivery stops if needed.
The thirty-second booth: retractable stands for recruiters and expos. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Stacks of corrugated yard signs for fundraising drives 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. Reorders match the first run exactly because we keep your art and specs on file.
Ceremony pieces handled with the gravity the event carries. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
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.
Registration, sponsor, and directional signs for runs, fairs, and ceremonies. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
The shop runs on habits borrowed from the people we serve: accountability by name, honest reporting, and deadlines that do not slide. Northlake customers feel the difference on the first order.
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.
Garment choice makes or breaks the order. These are the blanks Northlake customers pick most, all designable online on real product photos.
Staff tees matched to the signage, cheap enough to hand out by the case. Start from a napkin sketch if that is what you have. Turning rough into print ready is the job.
Cold-month events call for fleece on the crew, not just cotton. Rush timelines get quoted honestly. If we cannot hit the date, we say so before you pay a cent.
Banners and matching shirts in one order share a proof, a deadline, and a delivery date. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Every order includes the design team. They rescue low-resolution logos, invent art from plain descriptions, and keep insignia and period typography accurate when the concept demands it. Twenty-four hours after you send the idea, the proof is in your inbox; as many revisions as it takes come free, and your written sign-off is what starts the presses.
Or open the Design Lab and lay the design out yourself, priced in real time on the exact blank.
Start the budget from the real numbers: published light cotton tee packs, front print built into every figure Northlake customers see.
| Order size | Pack total | Cost per piece | Freight | Back side |

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.
Start in the Design Lab on the exact garment we print, or send whatever you have through the quote form. Rough ideas are welcome, that is what the free design service is for.
A real designer, not an algorithm, sends your proof within 24 hours. You change it as many times as it takes to be right.
Production waits for one thing only: your written sign-off on the proof. That signature is the contract for exactly what prints.
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.
Art, thread colors, and size history stay archived, so the next season run starts with one email.
Delivery to Northlake 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.
Orders ship boxed and counted against your size roster, with tracking sent the day they leave. If anything arrives short or damaged, photograph it and send it over, and we correct it at our cost.
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 orders are the specialty, not the exception: hundreds of mixed-size pieces, roster-counted boxes, one accountable contact.
The extended-size rule fits in one line: add $6 per piece below 25 total, $4 per piece at 25 or more. The Design Lab applies it automatically.
Custom work does not come back: due to custom orders, all work is finalized and no returns are accepted. The protection is up front instead, a free proof that must be approved in writing before anything prints, so check sizing and art carefully at that stage.
Yes, 10 pieces. That is the smallest run we print, packs for your Northlake crew keep dropping the per piece price from there, and free shipping starts at 100.
